Holistic coaching and consulting for professionals

Wellbeing for Leaders

Leading for Wellbeing recognizes that the wellbeing of each of us is interconnected with those around us. Leaders of wellbeing grow the wellbeing of those we work with, while developing our organizations to be more sustainable and successful.

Wellbeing for Educators

Teaching for Wellbeing is an approach to teaching intended to simultaneously improve the lives of students while improving the wellbeing of the teacher. Leading for wellbeing applies to teachers of adults and children in learning institutions and in corporate settings.

It’s more than good physical health, and it is more than feeling happy. A sense of wellbeing is a sense of wholeness.

Living with wellbeing means living life to its fullest, while enriching the lives of those around us.

Live, learn, and lead with greater self-awareness, productive energy, and deeper meaning.

Relational Connection

Improve communication and compassion with students, employees, family, friends, and co-workers.

Be the change

Develop a greater capacity to be an agent of innovative change and justice in your organization and at the level of larger systems.

Spiritual Connection

Identify and strengthen your personal beliefs, your connection with nature, and your affirmation of life.

The Leading for
Wellbeing Model

The Leading for Wellbeing Model is drawn from multiple philosophies of progressive education, the science of positive psychology, critical theory, systems thinking, and the research of the lived experience of teachers.
