How to Build Wellbeing as a Competency, Skill, and Strength

1?? Wellbeing as a Competency: Building the Foundation

• Competencies are measurable abilities. Treat wellbeing as a measurable, intentional part of your life.
• Example: Regularly use The Wellbeing@Work app @welbeingatwork.com?as a tool, and use a personal journal to assess your physical, emotional, social, community, career, and financial well-being.
• Tip: Identify your “wellbeing gaps” and create actionable plans to address them, such as improving sleep or work-life boundaries.

2?? Wellbeing as a Skill: Practice Daily Habits

• Skills require repetition and growth over time. Wellbeing practices should be integrated into your routine.
• Example: To build calm and focus, practice a “micro-moment” habit like mindful breathing for 2 minutes before meetings.
• Tip: Treat habits like expressing gratitude, which are non-negotiable and essential to wellbeing

3?? Wellbeing as a Strength: Leveraging for Impact

• Strengths emerge when competencies and skills are consistently applied. Use your wellbeing to empower others and enhance your performance.
• Example: Leverage your emotional intelligence to support a colleague or manage team stress during high-pressure projects.
• Tip: Share your wellbeing strategies with your team to foster a culture of mutual support.

?? Your Why Matters Wellbeing is more than a personal advantage—a collective strength that drives high-performing teams and thriving organizations.

Ask yourself: “How can I grow my wellbeing today to show up stronger for myself and others tomorrow?”
