What Would You Change in Your Life…If You Knew You Could?

Is there something you would like to do differently in your life? Something you would like more (or less) of? Is there a change you would like to make…but you just feel STUCK?

As I’ve been working with my clients recently, one thing is becoming clear: most are at a point of transition in their life – they’re trying to make a change (in one or more areas) but may need a little support to help them get UN-stuck!  

Some need guidance in developing strategies. Some need help with accountability – keeping them on track to accomplish what they’ve set out to do. Some need a gentle nudge, or perhaps a sturdier push. Still others may need suggestions of some additional resources to help them achieve their goals. Some need help for a little while (just a few sessions), others benefit from a longer-term relationship.

They all have one thing in common: they are undergoing a change (either one they desire or one which is outside their control), and they are taking the initiative to obtain help in navigating it successfully.

What are the top concerns my clients ask for help with? The top 4 are as follows:

• How to eat healthier
• How to incorporate more or better physical activity into their day
• How to better manage stress in their lives
• How to have a better, more satisfying career

Because we take a “whole-life” perspective to Wellness Coaching & Navigation, we naturally consider all aspects of the individual’s life:

• Physical (healthy eating & physical activity)
• Emotional
• Spiritual
• Relational (family & friends)
• Financial
• Professional

While clients usually have one or two main areas they want to address, they appreciate the “whole-life” approach since they know we will not sabotage one area for another. After all, the goal is to help you achieve greater abundance in your overall life!

So…is there some part of your life where you feel STUCK? Is there something you would like to achieve for yourself, but don’t know quite how to get there? Or do you know that “something’s missing” but you’re just not sure what you want? Would you like some help figuring out how to get from where you are to where you’d like to be?

My biggest hope for you can be summed up by my personal philosophy of “No Regrets!” If you don’t take a chance – take that first step – how will you ever know what could have been? Whatever that “first step” is for you, I encourage you to take it – TODAY!! You’ll never know if you don’t try.

In Wellness,

Gail

Workplace Wellness as a Competitive Advantage!
 
According to the NovaKnowledge Report Card from June 2010, Nova Scotia lags behind most of the rest of the country on several health and wellness indicators. And we know that employee absenteeism is costing us a whopping $538 million per year!! In this era of global competition – and even just within the Canadian marketplace – it is evident that such costs make it very difficult for Nova Scotia to compete!

What we know:

• Our population is aging
• We have some of the worst statistics of serious disease in the country
• Our workforce consists of various generations, each with its own values and motivations
• Keeping and retaining quality workers, from a shrinking labour pool, is challenging

But what can we do?

We need to invest in our workforce where it generates the biggest value for our employees and for the organization. The smartest employers are realizing the value of Workplace Wellness Programs in terms of the following:

• Employee engagement
• Attendance
• Productivity
• Profitability
• Sustainability in the Marketplace!

Tune in next month…when we further explore how Workplace Wellness is not just good for the employees but a strategic investment for the organization as well!

Who Do You Know? 

If you know of some organizations out there in Nova Scotia – or in Atlantic Canada – who are leading the charge in terms of Workplace Wellness, let us know and we can celebrate them! Simply submit a COMMENT or send us an e-mail (info@lighthousewellness.ca) to share the word.

On the other hand, if you know of an organization – or are part of an organization – who would benefit from a Workplace Wellness Program (or specific initiatives), please drop us a line. We would love to share some information about how this is a “win-win” investment.
