What would the world be like if masses of people were taught how to create and maintain wellness in their lives? Not simply a state of being in good health as an actively pursued goal, though that would be amazing, but also encompassing self-awareness and mental health hygiene?
What if people were taught how to communicate more intimately and share more genuinely from a place of self-acceptance?
The picture I am painting here by my rhetorical questions may seem lofty and pollyanna in nature when speaking about the masses but if we applied this thinking to a company and its culture what kind of outcomes would be produced?
We at Axis view wellness as a staple to the sustainable success of a company. If a company’s employees are WELL in this way… they are happier, they are healthier, they are more productive and/or efficient, and they are more interested in supporting a company’s mission.
Our Wellness Program supports learners in practicing self-awareness, coping and relational skills, thought and emotional management, physical health and nutrition from a mindful perspective, communications skills, and exploration of Origins Story. Our Wellness program is facilitated by three professionals: Aaron Foster- LMFT and Director of Wellness at Axis; Brendon Britton- Physical Education and Nutrition Specialist; John Bates- Executive Speaking Coach, Author, and Ted Talk Presenter.
At Axis, we view Wellness from the lens of being connected to one’s self at a deeper level.
From there it’s about making choices. It’s about setting daily practices that support the life we want to create. Thus the foundation of wellness is knowing and listening to oneself.
There are so many paths that can be taken in order to gain insight into ourselves but for simplicity’s sake, we start with a focus on thoughts, emotions, and behaviors as a means to create.
We educate for healthier, happier, more energetic, and more productive living by practicing mindful exercise and nutrition. Accepting oneself– one’s story, strengths, limitations, adversities, and all– becomes a superpower (think self-possession) in relating to others, to being more open and human. The packaged wellness education we provide is truly one of a kind as it focuses on the individual’s personal psycho-social development and proves to be invaluable in both the personal and the professional domains.
We offer customizable education and wellness programs based on a company’s needs whether onboarding or laying off employees. Yes, that’s right we can customize an educational program to aid exiting employees in their next professional and often quite personal pursuits. What better way to soften the blow and loss in our uncertain economic times.
