Today on the Take on Board podcast you're hearing from me. I may have mentioned previously that I recently completed a certificate in well being in the workplace. As part of that professional development, I completed a project. And because I don't have a workplace per se, it's really just me and Mungo the cat, my project was about well being in the boardroom. So today, I'm going to take you through that project, I took a small group of board chairs through the Wellbeing Framework. In the first session, they identified some things that they would do to improve well-being in the boardroom. Then, three months later, the group came back together to report back on progress. So today, I'll take you through what we did.Upcoming TOB EventsAll eventsYou might want to:Join the Take on Board Facebook communityJoin the Take on Board LinkedIn communityFollow along on TwitterWork with meJoin the Take on Board: Kickstarter group programJoin the Take on Board: Accelerator group programFind out more about meContact me Hosted on Acast.
