Wellbeing Science Institute

Over the last 12 months it has been a privilege to work with the Warringah Freeway Upgrade (WFU) team, and yesterday we had the opportunity to hear about the incredible achievements the project has made on such a complex and critical infrastructure project.  What makes the achievements all the more remarkable is that the emphasis on quality delivery has been matched by the emphasis on creating a culture of wellbeing. Although the benefits of focusing on wellbeing are undisputed, it still requires leaders like those at WFU, who are willing to challenge the status quo and commit to a course of action that moves beyond an event-based or ‘tick the box approach’. Yesterday staff also had the opportunity to hear from Adrian Kiely - a leader from another highly challenging field as the Commanding Officer of one of Australia’s three F-35 squadrons, the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world.  Adrian shared his experience on the indisputable case for wellbeing, the practices that are now embedded into the broader team culture, and some insights on what it takes to change cultures. Congratulations to the leaders at WFU and Adrian Kiely for the positive impact you’re making on your people’s lives, their communities, and the critical industries you operate in. We look forward to continuing the journey over the next 12 months with WFU.

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting world-class athlete wellbeing we are pleased to launch our Elite Athlete Wellbeing CPD Series with Workshop#1 'Getting to Know your Athletes from the Inside Out’ We are kicking off the CPD Series with this topic as we know that impactful athlete wellbeing is built on a strong foundation of trust and connection. Supporting athletes (or coaches/officials) in developing greater self-awareness is a driver of wellbeing, helps athletes develop a multi-dimensional self-concept and identify and make values-based choices in their life. This interactive and practical 4-hour workshop is at the Lougborough University London campus on June 27 and participants will have the opportunity to explore a powerful suite of tools to enhance self-awareness and strengthen connections and psychological safety. Numbers are limited to 30 people and registration is open now:  https://lnkd.in/gCdZjxuH
