Was sind wirksame Strategien zur Verbesserung des Wohlbefindens von Führungskräften?

Practical example of a boundary: I don’t take calls after 6pm (could be anything else, just wanted to make this topic more down to earth). Identifying your core values is fundamental here. I would also ensure you identify your limiting beliefs, as they might stop you from setting or maintaining effective boundaries. Making those boundaries clear is key, and sometimes easier than you think. Here for example just block your calendar after 6pm, with a auto-decline. This will also avoid you having to question your boundary every time a request comes, and thus help you maintain it. Working with another region and have to take evening calls? Take evening calls two slecific days a week. Trust me. I have done it for years. It works.

Clear boundaries are critical! In addition, to setting them you have to COMMUNICATE them! When I was in my executive role, I would spend time thinking about what was important to me, what did I value and did my calendar reflect those things. I would spend time with my assistant to make sure we were always aligned. Examples: 1. Block 30 minutes at the beginning/end of day for start and wrap up time. 2. Block every other Friday in the summer for family. 3. Pre-block vacations. 4. Block 45 minutes kid's school event game. I will not miss them. 5. 1-1s with my direct reports are sacred time. They will not be moved or adjusted. 6. Block 30 minutes for lunch every day. I feel I added more every year. I share d them with my team and boss.

The challenge for most of us who are over-givers or people pleasers is that setting boundaries doesn’t always solve the right problem, especially if the boundary is coming from a posture of resentment, anger, or distrust. When that is our posture, there’s a sense of emptiness, guilt, or even shame in closing ourselves off. It can damage our relationships with others - and with ourselves. What if, instead of needing set boundaries, you decided to get clear on your vision - for yourself, your family, and your work? When you’re living your vision, you’re authentically giving and authentically receiving. It’s in vision that your “yes” and “no” become powerfully simple.

Recognizing stress triggers requires to do some work on identifying your core values. Just being able to label which value is at play in a specific stressful situation helps bring it down and thus you avoid reacting in the heat of the moment. Some efficient practical tips to physiologically stimulate your vagus nerve and relax: - get your heart pumping: go up and down the stairs really fast, do some jumping jacks - square breathing (breathe in on 4, hold 4, breath out on 4, hold 4….) sitting in the toilet room. Also don’t forget, stress isn’t always negative! It is a signal your body is sending you. Listen and do something with it.

Having a dedicated stress management routine can help you manage stressors better as they come up, and also increases productivity and efficiency! An optimal, personalized, routine includes regular techniques such as meditation or breathing exercises, as well as things that bring you joy (to fill your cup)!

Coach leaders to direct kindness towards self. Being competitive, timeline bound and results driven can create plenty of second-guessing and enhances tense emotions. It is critical to be kind to self to begin practicing positive thinking and emotions.

We need people in our lives who not only provide us consistently with feedback; we also need them to guide us and hold us accountable to act on the insights we glean from the feedback. If we do nothing to act, the feedback can actually leave us more out of balance and out of integrity with ourselves and our relationships. I firmly believe your spouse or partner, a best friend or trusted colleague, and especially a trained coach are key to your growth in seeing and applying feedback to your life. A key tip is to never hire a coach who themself does not have a coach. Coaches need coaches just as much (if not more) as everyone else.

As a business coach that has worked with coaches to get better at emotional regulation, I have always seen the value of working with a coach. Find one or be one that does the following: 1) Challenges the answers given by executives no matter how confident they sound if it comes from a place of performativity. 2) Challenge their limiting beliefs gently.

You have to be willing to invest in yourself because no one else really will. Invest in a coach, trainer, masseuse, nutritionist, and vacation at your favorite destination. You are the only person who can put you first!

Take a deep breath. It is the biggest investment you can make in yourself. Give yourself the gift of life-giving oxygen. Take 5.5 seconds inhales and exhales. You will not need anything else. It will make everything else easier. Sometimes the answer is so simple most people won't believe or practice it. You have the same choice now.

One of the greatest analogies I have heard to executive life is that of marathon runners. We don't expect marathoners to run marathons every day of their lives and, yet, some of us expect that we have to keep running our executive lives at the same fast race pace every day without recovery time. To improve our wellbeing as executives, we need to find a better cadence and build in rest and recovery so that we are better prepared for the long-term. When we look at our work as a marathon, we are better able to find places for rest and better care for our wellbeing.

Lead Yourself First: Your Total Life Leadership is the first level of purposeful and human leadership. This leads to the capacity to Lead With Others --bringing the best self forward to interpersonal and collaborative relationships and team leadership--this then leads to Leading For Others by setting a culture where each member can lead their life, build collaborative capacity and contribute to a culture of well-being or our best work

It is useful to get clear on and stay connected to your purpose (your deeper why), for when we know why we are doing what we are doing, we can bear greater stress and strain. In addition, it is vital to set aside time to nourish and relpenish your body, mind and soul outside of work. The best ways to do that will vary by person. It may include sport, spas, meditation, museums, reading, art & culture, country walks or other things. What works for you?

Präventive Wartung ist nicht nur für reibungslose Abläufe in Anlagen wichtig, sondern auch für das Wohlbefinden von Unternehmern und Führungskräften. Die Vernachlässigung persönlicher Bedürfnisse kann ebenso kostspielig und riskant sein wie Probleme in Anlagen. Ob regelmäßige Bewegung, gesunde Ernährung, der Aufbau eines unterstützenden Netzwerks oder einfach Zeit für sich selbst - all das kann zu maximaler Effizienz und Wohlbefinden bei der Arbeit und in der Freizeit beitragen. Der wichtigste Faktor um sich in Topform zu halten ist es jedoch seinen ganz individuellen "Wartungsplan" zu erstellen – maßgeschneidert auf die eigenen Bedürfnisse.
