Leadership and Business Roadmap – August 2023
“WELLNESS IS THE COMPLETE INTEGRATION OF BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT – THE REALIZATION THAT EVERYTHING WE DO, THINK, FEEL, AND BELIEVE HAS AN EFFECT ON OUR STATE OF WELL-BEING.”
WELCOME TO August!
In today’s fast-paced world where free time feels like an indulgence, and to-do lists and stress have seemingly become acceptable parts of life, one aspect often takes a backseat: our wellness. Wellness is more than making it to an early yoga class before work or forcing down that kale smoothie; it's a holistic approach to living that encompasses our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. So how can you achieve this important yet illustrious state of wellness? Skillsoft’s Head of Global Content, Anju Choudhary has some excellent tips for prioritizing self-care and nurturing your wellness in her most recent article, Pursuing Personal - and Professional - Wellness. And later in this blog, you can check out the fantastic books we’ve curated for National Wellness Month in Skillsoft’s OFF THE SHELF book club. Whether you’re looking for ways to prioritize self-care, integrate exercise into your daily routine, manage anxiety and build resilience, or improve your overall mental health, you’ll find it all in this month’s book club and on Skillsoft’s Pericpio platform.
As you explore our library of leadership and business courses, books, audiobooks, summaries, and book club selections I encourage you to consider how you can leverage them in your learning solutions.
What's New
Many of us hear the phrase, “the future of work” quite frequently in
our day-to-day conversations at work. It refers to the ways businesses
need to learn about and adapt to the rapid advancement of emerging new
technologies.
