Welcome back to our series on bringing your #wholeself to work. Read part 1 (on athletes) over here. Stay tuned for parts 3 and 4, coming up. Let’s be honest: I could write a book on this (and actually I’m working on something like that… PS if you’re not getting our emails where we share …
Welcome to our series on bringing your #wholehuman to work. Stay tuned for parts 2, 3 and 4 coming up. Here’s a little background on WHY this matters: We recently published a series called Nurture your working life – where we invited you to consider your working life as a group of plants. Two of …
