This month, we challenge you to consider ways to pursue spiritual wellness. At CEEK, we believe that a healthy workforce is necessary for a growing and successful organization. The past two months we’ve unpacked how to support mental and physical wellness in the organizations you’re entrusted to lead. Spiritual wellness, often a taboo in a business context, is the third facet we’re exploring in this challenge series.
Typical definition may reference a faith foundation, guiding beliefs, principles, values, or standards of morality. Brené Brown defines spirituality as “recognizing and celebrating that we are all inextricably connected to each other by a power greater than all of us.” She contends that “practicing spirituality brings a sense of perspective, meaning, and purpose to our lives.” In an effort to promote spiritual wellness, leaders can hold space for individuals to practice their sense of perspective, meaning, and purpose.
At CEEK, our mission provides a shared foundation of meaning and purpose through our work. Though spirituality means different things to us as individuals, our agreed values give us a common means to approach our mission through how we serve our clients, colleagues, and community. We can pursue spiritual wellness—however we define it as individuals—through the individual and collective application of shared values.
Spirituality is very personal. Leaders need to recognize the ability you have to enhance, and subtract from, the spiritual wellness of the teams you are entrusted to lead. This month, we encourage you to hold space, individually and collectively, to define and pursue spiritual wellness.
A healthy workforce is good for business. Be the leader who inspires and supports a healthy mind, body, and spirit among your colleagues and organization. CEEK a Better WayÒ.
