The Wellpreneur Podcast

Corporate wellness programs have come a long way since the wellpreneur podcast started three years ago. Much more mainstream, robust and widely accepted, companies are taking a hard work at the wellbeing of their employees in the success of their business. This week I have Lawrence Mitchell on the show (for his second interview) to give us an update on the progress of the Living Well program he started three years ago, as well as tips and advice on starting a wellbeing program within your own corporate environment. If you’re currently working in corporate and would love to start a wellbeing program, or if you’re looking to contact other corporations about creating a program, this episode will give you lots of tips and advice!This episode originally aired on The Wellpreneur Podcast.Get the full show notes with links: https://wellpreneur.com/creating-corporate-wellness-programs-with-lawrence-mitchell/Copyright 2012-2020 Wellpreneur Ltd.

I’m just back from an amazing conference in Bangkok, where my favorite workshop was about Business Intuition, hosted by Michael Smith. During a break we recorded a short conversation about using intuition in your business – from making decisions to hiring to attracting ideal clients. Who knew that intuition could be so practical. And it also takes the pressure off having to ‘figure out’ the ‘right answer’ – instead, use intuition to guide you. It feels easy and effortless … and it works.Also this week I’m excited to announce a new sponsor for the Wellpreneur Podcast – Swellby.com! They’re a new online marketplace for wellness practitioners – check them out here.Additionally, don’t forget to check Marketing Bootcamp – a really useful course that will help you establish the marketing efforts that suit you the most and that work for your business!This episode originally aired on The Wellpreneur Podcast.Get the full show notes with links: https://wellpreneur.com/using-intuition-in-your-business/Copyright 2012-202
