The partnership will add dimension and support to the WAC’s wellness mission beyond the traditional focus of fitness, mindfulness and social connection, to embrace the concept that comprehensive wellness should consider the idea of reaching for one’s full leadership potential and achieving the professional and personal satisfaction that comes from contributing and sharing at an elevated level.
“What I’ve learned from the many CEOs I’ve coached, is that prioritizing health, increasing self-awareness and defining a clear leadership purpose is a winning strategy for realizing your fullest leadership potential,” said Teri Citterman. “What excites me most about our partnership is the opportunity to help people who have already formed healthy habits increase their leadership performance.
