We understand the importance of culture, but it can feel too big for us to do anything about. Or maybe we feel like it’s someone else’s job. So, we go about our day contributing to the culture whatever way we feel like showing up that day. But as today’s guest, Maggie Gough, tell us culture is everyone’s responsibility.
Here’s her definition of culture:
Culture is a million micro moments of people in connection with one another in an organization.
But Maggie didn’t start out in the culture biz. She’s a fellow dietitian who has held various worksite wellness roles from working in a call center to wellness director at a biometric screening company (and a couple other positions along the way). It wasn’t until she found herself misaligned with her values, ill and in need of recovery that she started her own business, Realize Wellbeing.
In the first 20 minutes of this interview, Maggie takes us through the twists and turns of her worksite wellness career to date. For those of you early in your careers or wanting to advance, she’s got some great advice for you.
Maggie gets candid (as is her nature) about when she was sick, anxious and in need of recovery. We discuss coaching employees and dive into her training called “All In”, that focuses on culture and why we’re all responsible for building it. Maggie leaves us with details on a Wellbeing Accelerator she created in partnership with WELCOA.
Announcement: I’m holding another small group training from July 15 to August 19, 2019. This is a 6-week weekly session where we briefly cover a Next Generation Wellness topic then spend time discussing how (or if) it would work in your organization or clients. There will only be 7 spots open and I haven’t opened registration yet. If you’re interested, use this contact form to let me know or if you want more info.
