Frequently Asked Questions
Why Thriving?
Thriving is a natural state of human functioning, and the basis of human potential, development, and performance. When we thrive, we have an abundance of energy to unleash toward positive business and social outcomes. A thriving work culture attracts, develops, and retains people at their best. Thriving is not only about return on investment; it redefines how we work, grow, and succeed.
Why should I enroll in this program?
You will be uniquely positioned to assist leaders in embracing thriving as a leadership asset rather than an afterthought—where leaders are more open, present, connected, and well, instead of reactive, disengaged, and burnt out. This is a pivotal role for you as a leader, facilitator, and coach.
In cultures of overwork and fear, the vitality of people gives way to illness and disease, enthusiasm is traded for disengagement, and effectiveness is eroded by burnout. The most precious human resource—our innate capacity to thrive—is seriously jeopardized, diminishing the power of people to live, work, innovate, collaborate, and lead.
Simply put, thriving is no longer optional. Our unique framework brings together 19 bio-psycho-social-spiritual factors of thriving into one tool, enables you to enhance thriving for yourself and those you lead.

No, you do not need to be a professional coach. This program was crafted specifically for leaders within organizations, as well as coaches or development practitioners, to guide individuals in examining their thriving capacity.

What results will I notice?
Depleted or disengaged leaders lack the energy, clear-headedness, emotional balance, and world-centric acumen to make the best decisions for organizations and societies. The Be Well Lead Well Pulse® assessment system opens new avenues between you and the leaders you serve for leading from a foundation of internal balance, resilience, and wellbeing.
When leaders apply their personalized insights from Be Well Lead Well Pulse®, they:
- Become more energized. The energy boost leaders experience when they tap into true wellbeing translates into better performance.
- Operate with greater clarity and calm presence. When a leader’s inner world is at ease, the ups and downs of the outer world are less likely to rattle them.
- Foster a thriving work culture. Thriving leaders set the tone for people to work together with generativity and trust, rather than reactivity and fear.
- Uplevel thriving in relationships and teams. Too much or too little stress erodes performance. Leaders who value thriving help people align their potential with an inspired purpose to create the extraordinary.
- Cultivate wisdom. Leaders who thrive are an invitation for everyone they touch to bring forward wiser decisions fueled by wellbeing.
