“I have been working with leaders and leadership teams for over 20 years as a Coach and Consultant. I have seen their world changing dramatically: they are scheduled to be in multiple meetings at the same time; taking time to plan, prepare and, think creatively or strategically is a luxury they can’t afford. Leaders are often scheduled back-to-back with no breaks and no lunch. There is no time for learning except on the job as they make mistakes – except there is really no time to reflect on and learn from those mistakes. These leaders are tired, unable to focus or concentrate too long on the issue at hand or the longer term issue and are out of balance. They are unable to take the time to grow and mentor others effectively.

This mode of operation is not sustainable – it’s not good for the leaders, the employees or the longer term success of the organization. It’s time to do it different – so I combined two long-standing passions of mine – leadership and wellness. And then I created a model for healthy leadership. If your organization wants to create a different culture – one with healthy leadership which results in a healthy culture which leads to a sustainable long-term success – join me on this journey to ‘personal leadership sustainability. It works!
