What comes first, the leader or the wellness professional? According to today's guest, Renee Moorefield, "a leader is someone who sees themself as stewarding the potential of their team, and that means human wellbeing."
Renee Moorefield, co-founder and CEO of Wisdom Works, is uniquely poised to evaluate and strengthen leadership through the lens of wellness. Having started out in the wellness industry as an exercise physiologist, she quickly realized that she had more influence on creating and altering environments for maximum wellness as a formal leader, then later as an executive coach.
Through Wisdom Works, Renee has trained and advised thousands of leaders and executives striving to elevate human potential, operate from inspired purpose and vision, and achieve wellbeing and internal balance. She is the director of the transformational leadership platform Be Well Lead Well, chair of the Wellness at Work initiative at the Global Wellness Institute, and curator of the Wellness Moonshot, an effort to rid the world of preventable disease.
In today's episode, Renee discusses the philosophy of Wisdom Works as well as her definition of thriving and how integral a concept it is to leadership and wellness. She shares some of the ways she's seen executives' views of wellness changing, especially how she believes leadership and wellness go hand in hand.
Additionally, she illustrates how important mental wellbeing has become a part of the wellness conversation. Renee explains a bit of the creation process of the Be Well Lead Well Pulse, including its 6 measurable dimensions - thriving, fuel, flow, wonder, wisdom, and thriving amplified. Finally, she shares her biggest hope for wellness professionals.
