Leadership Secret Weapon: Put Your Oxygen Mask on First

Pending CCEU Credit

Program Description

As coaches, you are committed to supporting your clients as they lead their organizations and live productive lives. Yet, despite all the stress and anxiety you may be experiencing in your job and your industry, your clients, never see it. You juggle many responsibilities with precision and composure. But, along the way, you may forget about the one person without whom you can’t succeed – yourself. 

Increasingly we recognize that to lead and influence others; we need to first take care of ourselves. Self-care is indeed a leadership skill. In this interactive session, we will explore the foundation and benefits of following the conventional wisdom of putting your oxygen mask on first. Participants will interactively share what works for them and where they experience challenges in prioritizing self-care. 

We will explore why this approach is important not only for you as coaches but also for your clients.
