Rick Tiedemann

If you're looking to excel in a constantly evolving marketplace, then you won't want to miss this event.

Many business owners and leaders are paying a heavy health toll for achieving corporate and business success. All too often, the end game of a successful corporate run is burnout.

We need to create a new narrative in which leadership well-being is not seen as a perk or benefit, but is appropriately recognized as a vital risk mitigation strategy.

It's important that we talk more about “making of a corporate athlete” and the behaviours that can help us create the best version of ourselves so that the end game is changed from burnout to burn brightly.

Why you need to attend:

  • Enhance your understanding of how health impacts business performance.
  • Gain an understanding of how to factor health into a shareholders agreement.
  • Reframe your thinking around leadership well-being as a risk mitigation strategy.
  • Learn how to create your personal corporate athlete formula.

Don't miss this chance to accelerate your company's growth and become a thriving member of Greater Vancouver's business community.
