Much like you have to feel that jazz music in your soul, environmental wellness is as much about the way you FEEL wherever you are as it is about the actual safe and soothing nature of the space itself. CAN YOU FEEL IT?

BE YOUSTEVEN GERNDT, MD• Cardiovascular and thoracic

surgeon (heart surgeon)• Transformed himself and his work environment,

leading from within to make real change

BELONG“When I came to this surgical group 20 years ago, it was a great place to work, but for a multitude of reasons – including political and economic pressures, as well as changes in health care at that time – our program broke into three, smaller practices. Our team culture became somewhat toxic and led to a good deal of turnover and frustration among the staff. Then a book called Necessary Endings helped me take responsibility for leading my team to a more positive and supportive way of interacting. The book taught me that although I might be willing and able to put up with whatever was happening around me at work, by ignoring the problem I was letting down all the members of my team because they were suffering, too. Around that same time, I learned about a man named Horst Schulze, who was the acting director of the Ritz Carlton hotel chain. Through his example, I learned to employ the concept of ‘love your neighbor as yourself’ to provide great service to both our patients AND our staff. We need to include a focus on our staff and our workplace, or we will burn out.”

BE A LIFESAVER“The changes we made not only impacted our team, but it improved the quality of my life. It changed the quality of my very existence at work. We all appreciate each other’s role and respect what every other person contributes. As a result, a number of objective measures

have improved without us even focusing on them. By taking care of each other, we’re taking better care of our customers.”

1. CLEAR YOUR MIND. Be aware of how you feel when you enter a space. What thoughts are you having when you walk in? What steps can you take to improve this? It may be decluttering or organizing a room. It could be clearing the air between you and a co-worker. You own this power to change your environment. It begins with you.

2. CLEAR YOUR SPACE. Remove toxicity. This can range from noticing negative thought patterns to removing toxins in your home (harmful cleaning materials, air quality), or even a “toxic” habit.

3. CLEAR THE AIR. If you want to clean the air and remove smoking from your life, we can help. Bellin Health can help you quit with BEAT THE PACK™, including 4-8 sessions, all materials, one-on-one or small group support, and access to the PlanQ phone app. Talk to a facilitator by calling 920.445.7373 or 888.758.7373.
