Who Keeps the Keeper of Everyone Else's Wellbeing?
You run wellbeing for the whole company. You built the programs, the surveys, the trainings. Everyone's state passes through your hands first. No one asks about yours. This is not an accident that happened to you. It is a pattern you built, one decision at a time. You would never let a manager run a team with no support. Yet you run yourself that way, every day. Stop waiting for someone to notice. No one will appoint a keeper for the keeper. You must build it yourself — the same way you built everything else here. On purpose. With a person. On a schedule.
You will not be given a keeper. Choose one yourself — a peer, not a direct report, who asks after you as hard as you ask after everyone else. Set it this week, on your calendar, not in your head. No one is coming to assign this to you. The assigning is yours.
What changes unlock by starting
- A standing check-in with someone who holds you accountable, not just reports to you.
- A clear line between what is yours to carry and what belongs to others.
- Fewer things absorbed that were never yours to hold.
- A team that sees you as a person, not an infinite resource.
