RECORDED: The Importance of Developing the Whole Person

Why should you focus on developing the whole person? In short, to achieve peak performance you must optimize all aspects of your life and this entails developing your mind, your body, and your skills. While this might seem intuitive, we often hear from organizations, ‘I don’t want my people focused on setting a goal to run a marathon – I want them to ‘fill in the blank’ sell more, get more done,’ etc.
What this belief misses, however, is that all aspects of our lives are interconnected. We can’t separate our physical well-being from our work life. They influence each other. And, not only do they influence each other, if we can improve our physical well-being we can actually increase our work performance.
