Wellbeing Designers Newsletter

Designing a wellbeing culture via Strategic Wellbeing Education for Human-Centric Organisations and Leaders

Hi Wellbeing Designers,

Welcome to the May - June newsletter of 2024!

It has been almost year since the first edition of this newsletter! Sometimes I feel dissatisfied and impatient (yes, I do that!) and I feel that we are going slowly on this journey building Wellbeing Designers. Then I need to knock on my own head and do what I learned at my coaching school and what I do when I coach others ... I need to remind myself where we were with Wellbeing Designers a year ago and where we are today. Then I clearly see the amount of progress I have made! I feel very proud of that. Entrepreneurship is such a deep personal development journey!

Now it is time to celebrate together as we reached a big milestone: launching the Wellbeing Leadership Mastery course!

Where we shared our insights

Reka shared her insights on the impact of AI on our wellbeing in a Forbes Article,  "Can AI Make Us 30% Happier?" authored by the brilliant Amy Blankson. This thought-provoking piece explores the fascinating intersection of technology and well-being.

We teamed up with dr. Bernhard Kaumanns and his company Leaders who care for the Re.Th!nk 2024 session aiming to give space for a small group of professionals working on advancing well-being in their organisations. It was a great success, meaningful conversations and connections on an exceptionally hot summer day in Zurich, Switzerland. Join the conversation about the session here on LinkedIn!

Reka was invited to by the ICF Kuwait Chapter, during the International Coaching week of the International Coaching Federation to deliver a session about self-awareness and sustainable leadership. Thank you dear Ghada Ahmed and Maleha ALfoudari for making this happen!
