Your skills alone don’t determine your work performance–it’s also about being in the right physical, mental, and emotional state.
That’s where wellness practices come in. In today’s episode, our guest will share powerful practices for incorporating wellness into the workday.
Meet Kristel Bauer. Kristel is a corporate wellness and performance expert, keynote speaker and TEDx speaker supporting organizations and individuals on their journeys for more happiness and success. She is the author of Work-Life Tango: Finding Happiness, Harmony, and Peak Performance Wherever You Work and host of her global top self-improvement podcast, Live Greatly.
Kristel and I dive into why the traditional work-life balance model no longer works and explore practical tips for blending work with personal fulfillment.
From intentional morning routines to micro-breaks and building trust within your team, Kristel highlights how small, powerful changes can transform how you show up at work daily.
