In a recent LinkedIn post, Dr. Adam Harrison explores a unique approach to beginning the work week, emphasizing the importance of connection and personal wellness alongside traditional business networking. Dr. Harrison, a proponent of holistic well-being for professionals, highlights an upcoming event hosted by the Good Man Network designed to offer a more balanced start to Monday mornings.
Dr. Harrison details how many professionals typically commence their week:
“How do you usually start your working week? Straight into the inbox? Meetings? Phone calls? A list of things that somehow got longer over the weekend?”
Challenging this conventional, often high-pressure start, Dr. Harrison introduces an alternative facilitated by the Good Man Network. This initiative aims to bring together male business owners, entrepreneurs, leaders, and other professionals for a structured yet meaningful two-hour session.
Beyond Traditional Business Networking
While acknowledging the inherent value of business networking, Dr. Harrison emphasizes that the Good Man Network’s events offer more than just transactional connections. The focus extends to fostering genuine conversation and providing a space for reflection on personal well-being, not solely on professional achievements.
As Dr. Harrison notes:
“But the Good Man Network was created to offer something more than that. We’ll also make time for genuine conversation, connection and a bit of space to think about how we’re doing as men, not just how our businesses or careers are doing.”
This sentiment underscores a broader understanding of success, where personal health and authentic relationships are seen as integral components, rather than distractions, from professional endeavors. The event is designed to be a supportive environment where participants can build relationships, share ideas, and engage in lighthearted interaction while also attending to their own wellness.
A Different Kind of Monday Morning
Dr. Harrison suggests that this structured approach can be a more beneficial way to commence the week than the typical frantic pace. The event provides an opportunity for men in business to connect with peers, share experiences, and gain perspective in a setting that values both professional and personal growth.
According to Dr. Harrison:
“For many of us, the working week starts at full speed and stays that way. So perhaps there are worse ways to begin a Monday than spending a couple of hours with a group of good men, building relationships, sharing ideas, having a laugh and giving some attention to our own wellness at the same time.”
The Good Man Network offers a free first meeting for newcomers, encouraging participation and providing an accessible entry point for those interested in exploring this integrated approach to starting their work week. The event details, including date, time, and location at The Tauranga Club, were clearly outlined, with an invitation to message Dr. Harrison directly or book via the Good Man Wellness website for those seeking more information or wishing to secure a spot.
