A solid handshake and a planning session.The Director of F&B? Coffee, strategy talk, a clear seat at the table.And then... the wellness director walked by.A nod. A quick fix-it conversation about a sauna door.That\u2019s it. No seat at the table. No business conversation. Just operational scraps.It brought back memories.When I was a wellness director, I wasn\u2019t seen as emotional enough\u2014I was expected to be more emotional.Essentially, I was expected to cry when overwhelmed. I was expected to be less finance-oriented. Less strategic.Because that\u2019s the box wellness directors are often put into.And at the same time, we\u2019re unfairly perceived as too soft, too sensitive, not business-minded enough.It\u2019s a double standard.And it\u2019s holding wellness back.In this episode, I unpack 3 key mechanisms driving this disconnect:\u2192 Perception vs. Position:Why wellness directors are seen as soft, and how that perception undermines their business leadership potential.\u2192 Mismatch of Expectations:GMs want strategic leaders, but train therapists. We expect them to do everything\u2014without setting them up for success.\u2192 Asset Misalignment:You want wellness to be an asset, but treat the role of a wellness director like a gap-filler. That math will never add up._______Are you ready to take wellness to the next level?Here are 2 ways I can help:1\ufe0f\u20e3 WHO: Wellness directors who want to join 1% of wellness leaders\ud83d\udccc WHAT: The Wellness Asset AcademyA 10-week online group programme where I guide you through my 7-step ESSENCE framework.
