What is a CUW challenge?
CUW is 4 events in 1. It's also the first multi-dimensional challenge designed for coaches by coaches
A CUW challenge takes place over 10 days early each month and consists of:
1- One movement challenge: your choice of movement and how much time - adjust your own goal
2- Three Well-Being Talks: We focus on one of the 8 dimensions of well-being each month, and the talks will relate to that dimension. Each talk will be a combination of information and action; speakers will ensure that you have concrete tools and resources to apply in your own well-being journey.
3- A supportive community to cheer you on!
Who is this challenge for ?
Although this challenge is initially designed for coaches and anyone who is in a clinical or similar position that focuses on taking care of other people, the challenge is focused on the participant's wellbeing, not on specifics of how to coach. If you're interested in working on your own wellbeing, feel free to join in!
