What an experience! Brisbane for the WSI World Class Wellbeing in Sport conference ~ creating environments for performance and wellbeing at the incredible Callie Hotel. Thank you to Wellbeing Science Institute, Steve Johnson and Alison Johnson for putting on such a strong event within this space. To be in a room full of like minded people who all want elite levels of wellbeing supports for sporting organisations and it's people was literally a dream come true. Sharing knowledge and insights, raising questions and challenging the "norms" in elite sports was extremely thought provoking and inspiring. Some incredible panelists from a range of sports and from across the globe sharing game changing information for the elite sport context. Not to mention meeting some of my online cohort friends face to face and being able to share in the experience and catch up on our experiences in the space. Ross Ashcroft Fraser Harrison Dale Quartey Toby Nolan. My 5 Key take aways... 1. Know/Focus on the person before the athlete 2. Connection and trust is critical 3. It takes a village but it can start with us 4. Taking athletes and elite staff to a level where they are autonomous in their wellbeing and wellbeing decisions is the ultimate goal 5. You can't have long term performance without wellbeing ... and many more 👏🏼

Come and learn how to compete in lawyering at the highest levels of performance!

Corporate Wellness 2.0 is not a marketing term. In the words of our corporate clients, it’s an eye-opener. Most of us who have been working for more than a decade, and now managing family, trying to procure assets or further our careers, have put our health on the backseat (or in the boot)! The earlier we wake up, better is the chance we have to undo the damages done and prevent from getting shocked at a later stage. I am glad we started this division at Sporting Ethos as it has enabled me to introspect and focus inwards. Will be sharing more insights from personal and professional perspective/learning in the days to come. #reclaimyourhealth #corporatewellness2 #sportingethos
