More leadership teams are asking for wellbeing sessions aimed specifically at them, rather than the general sessions offered to the whole organisation.
That makes sense. The pressures on a CEO, FD or operations director are different. So are the conversations they're willing to have in front of each other.
If you're planning a session for your senior team, here's what's worth including, and what's worth leaving out.
Many workplace wellbeing sessions are designed for large groups across every level of an organisation. They have their place.
But senior leaders often find them too general. They've heard that sleep matters and that exercise is good for them. What they want is help with the practical reality of their role: the travel, the late decisions, the weeks when everything lands at once.
They also want to be treated as capable adults. Sessions built on fear or guilt rarely land well with experienced leaders.
Whoever delivers it, a useful session for a senior team might look something like this:
A single session won't transform anyone's health. But you can judge whether it was useful:
In-person sessions tend to work best for leadership away-days and board meetings, where there's time to discuss. Online sessions suit teams spread across locations or tight diaries. Both can work well if the content is relevant.
At TRUTH, we deliver Executive Health Drift, an interactive session for senior leaders on sleep, energy, recovery and practical habits. It's available online or in person, and is designed to sit naturally within a leadership away-day or board meeting.
Executive Health Drift is the gradual decline in how leaders feel and function that slowly becomes normal. It's a pattern we see in coaching rather than a medical diagnosis. You can read more about it in Steve's story.
For teams that want to go further after the session, our Leadership Capacity Programme supports groups of 3 to 20 senior leaders.
No. Reflection is private. The session focuses on shared patterns and practical changes, not individual disclosures.
No. It's designed to sit alongside it, with a focus on the specific pressures of senior roles.
Yes. Get in touch and tell us about your team, your sector and the occasion.
