• Integrating well-being in workplaces
• Cultural shifts for sustainable leadership
• The power of vision and purpose

Key Takeaways:

• Thriving is defined as feeling internally well-resourced and capable of meeting life and work complexities with vitality, competence, and a growth mindset, shifting from depletion to flourishing.
• The 'Be Well Lead Well Pulse' tool uses 19 psychosocial metrics, such as resilience and purpose, to identify where leaders and teams stand and to create actionable strategies for thriving.
• Organizations that integrate thriving into their practices see tangible benefits, including higher morale, engagement, and creativity, even during challenging times like the pandemic.
• Thriving requires the courage to question deeply ingrained habits, cultural norms, and personal identities, fostering alignment between values, energy, and actions in work and life.

"Thriving is courageous work. It's not just about behaving normally. It is not just about changing behavior. It's about re-looking at how we are living, what we identify with, and the energy we're getting from that identity.” — Renee Moorefield
