Wellbeing Designers / October Update

Hi Wellbeing Designers,

October passed aways so quickly that I am writing the October newsletter beginning of November! I know...? ?

Let's start with a recent news that many of you?might have seen.?I took on an additional role as a Senior Advisor at The Josh Bersin Company . I have been excited about the work of Josh and his team for many years! I shared a bit more about it in the podcast episode we did together. I am super happy to be part of the team on the mission together towards more and more irresistible and human-centric organisations. In my advisory role I will be combining my professional experience in culture transformations and leadership development working in management consulting for several years, with my expertise and work in the wellbeing space that I gained in the past few years. ?

I can't wait to see where this work will lead us!

Talking about combining backgrounds... nowadays I enjoy the most to add the greatest value by connecting the dots between individual wellbeing practices and the systemic strategic wellbeing in organisations. On a recent event I talked about the Wellbeing Index and how organisations measure wellbeing. On the other hand being an avid practitioner and teacher of various wellbeing techniques leads me still quite often to give keynotes on individual wellbeing and sustainable performance. I enjoy the combination of these two angles. It keeps me grounded and reminds me how important my own practice is to do this work.

Trying to walk the talk while talking the walk!

Wishing you an energizing day,

Voices from the Wellbeing Designers Community

In this month's Community highlight is Sheila Piper, Health and Wellbeing Lead at Accenture UK & Ireland, who was our 1000th follower on LinkedIn back in the summer. So I reached out to her to connect!

Insights into our work

This month we connected with some German speaking Wellbeing Designers during the very first Health & Mind Festival in Bregenz, Austria that attracted nearly 900 people. Read some of my impressions in this post. ?

I was super happy about the audience feedback received after the event in various formats. Let me share some of the posts here as well by?Dornbirner Sparkasse Bank AG , by Verena ?and by Marina ?and by Sabine who was also my fellow panelist on the main stage where we talked about Working Culture vs. Wellbeing Culture.?

We also kicked off a piece of work with a company piloting different wellbeing approaches. They are very clear on the connection between wellbeing and ways of working. This means that it is not about a big bang employee wellbeing program but about tools built into the everyday processes. Very excited to see the reactions and results!
