The nature of leadership and how business is conducted has changed drastically over the last decade. Frequent travel and long work days are the norm. With the advent and increased use of BlackBerry™ and cell phones, the workplace has become increasingly portable. What has also changed, however, is an increasing awareness of the need to take physical care of oneself. The tension between the demands of the job and finding time to exercise is ever present. This session will explore current data on senior executives and their health, exercise habits and leadership performance as well as examine the current data on what it means to be fit and eat well.
In this session you will:
- Learn what some senior executives have done to become fitter and healthier and how that has impacted their lives and work performance.
- Uncover the behaviors that are most important for achieving better fitness and health.
- Review data that shows the relationship between fitness, diet and disease.
Maximizing the Value of the Webinar
- Invite others to participate. Structure a group "lunch and learn" session and invite other colleagues to attend.
- Debrief the lessons learned. Set aside time at the end of the Webinar to discuss takeaways, and how they apply to your group or organization
- Tap into your training budget. Ask your HR group or manager to underwrite the Webinar as part of your organization's ongoing staff development effort.
