Long-Term Health in Leadership: Between obsession and mindful living

Physical health is closely linked to performance and mental health. Without sufficient sleep, exercise and a balanced diet, it becomes considerably more difficult to focus, think clearly and act decisively. Managers can draw on a variety of measuring instruments, such as fitness watches, rings, and bracelets, as well as associated apps, for support in this area. Today, the term 'longevity' describes a trend focusing on strategies, technologies and lifestyles designed to enable people to live longer, healthier and more productive lives. However, many executives feel pressured by this. Instead of relieving stress, health has become another item on their performance agenda and tends to add to stress, which can be detrimental in the long term.

Together with Ellen Nagel, a naturopath and longevity expert, we would therefore like to discuss how executives can find their own personal path to a healthy lifestyle that supports them in achieving their professional and personal goals. Executives should always be in control, actively deciding how to balance technical gadgets, scientific research, mainstream society and their personal circumstances.

  • Learn how to balance health practices with realistic daily routines.
  • Explore how to avoid turning health into another source of pressure.

Open Leadership Dojo: Embrace Your Unique Leadership Challenges

To stay healthy and ensure effectiveness, leaders need spaces in which to recharge, connect with vitality and establish focus in their leadership.

The Open Leadership Dojo is an experimental format that helps leaders connect with themselves through awareness, re-establishing a clear sense of their leadership purpose. We achieve this by using embodiment techniques as a powerful tool to help you truly embrace your unique leadership style. The session begins with a bodywork exercise to help you become present after a busy workday. Afterwards, one or two of the participants will have the opportunity to share their current leadership challenges. Julius will facilitate their explorations. The other participants will share their ideas, emotions and experiences on each case. The session will close with a short bodyhack and checkout.

We recommend attending the Embodied Leadership Fundamentals training if you want to participate in the Open Leadership Dojo, as the training provides theoretical background and basic embodiment tools.

Benefits

  • Relax quickly after a hectic workday by connecting with your senses.
  • Learn powerful new embodiment routines to help you become more resilient and stay focused in your leadership.
  • Take the opportunity to work on current leadership challenges with the group.
  • Learn from other leaders and reflect on your own leadership challenges.
