I’m Saleha khan,I’m a certified health, leadership, and life coach. It is my professional mission to empower people to create positive change and greater well-being so they can lead themselves and the organizations and families they serve. And when an organization’s employees experience well-being, you create a healthy, vibrant organization that experiences greater engagement and performance.
When we think of wellness, we often simply think of the absence of illness and about eating healthy and getting plenty of exercise. Good things for sure. But wellness is more than that. This is why my message focuses on well-being in our lives, our leadership, and organizations.
Well-being is a broader concept that encompasses how people think and feel about, and experience, their everyday lives. It weaves together overall personal and professional effectiveness and fulfillment with physical vitality, mental clarity, and social connection..
We lead such busy lives today. We (and others) hold ever-increasing expectations of our time and our performance. The Gallup organization shares that while 66% of people are doing well in at least one of their Elements of Well-being (Career, Social, Physical, Financial, and Community) only 7% are thriving in all five areas.
If we struggle in any of these areas, like most of us do, it damages and wears on our life and overall well-being. When we strengthen any of these areas, we do better, but we thrive when we can be effective in all of them. As a leader, business owner, volunteer, and working mom, I’ve experienced these challenges all too well myself. Read about my personal journey toward well-being.
