Sharon Summerfield Wellbeing Coach | Holistic Nutritionist

I am a Wellbeing Coach and a Holistic Nutritionist with demonstrated success in nurturing healthy employees and high performing organizations. In December 2017 I founded The Nourished Executive where we partner with our clients to invest in their wellbeing and share strategies to manage stress and prevent burnout.

Prior to launching The Nourished Executive, I worked primarily as a Project Manager/Executive Assistant.

I feel so blessed to have been involved in leading, creating and building unique community partnerships, delivering client and community focused events and meetings and working with many talented executives.

For me it continues to be a top priority to find those ways to partner and nourish the wellbeing of myself and others. This begins by fostering psychological safety and creating boundaries in alignment with our values and purpose.

I believe we can find ways to harmonize life, where work does not come at the cost of life.

For the longest time I thought I had no creative talents as it seemed we were recognizing the artists, the painters, the musicians, intellectuals and those who were identified as the experts, top performers and being intelligent. We have been celebrating the wrong things and closing doors. Often the creatives have been those that created works of art and a select identified few within our teams and organizations.  Through this lens, and similar lens of only identifying top performers, so many were missed. And organizations wondered why  people were quiet quitting and leaving their teams and …

There are so many beautiful ways to build connection. One of those ways is with food. Did you know there is actually research on this? In the book “The Surprising Science of Meetings” written by Steven Rogelberg he shares: “Snacks at meetings are a good predictor of positive feelings about meetings.  Not only do people enjoy treats, snacks help build an upbeat mood state and foster camaraderie that can carry into the substance of the meeting itself.” I always appreciate when there is tasty food at meetings. This recipe has been in the development stages for more than a decade. I am so…

As we head into the holidays, we are juggling so much. The important piece is finding those ways to connect with yourself.  The more grounded we feel the more we can connect with others. I was reminded of the importance of this on our recent trip travelling throughout BC.  For more on my learnings on the importance of downtime, this is the link to the piece sharing our journey. When we find those way to slow down and connect with ourselves we can find those ways to show up and be our authentic selves.  Sometimes that means saying no. In the busyness of our lives we need to learn to ask ours…

When was the last time you carved out time to disconnect? In creating that space we discover ways to connect with ourselves, others and nature in beautiful ways. This summer my husband and I did just that.  We took six weeks to travel throughout BC and connect with family and friends. Just over a year ago I was speaking with a dear friend  who had lost everything during the fires in the Cariboo in 2016.  She invited me to visit their property in the Cariboo to take photos.  This is where we started talking about a trip. Late last year we purchased a “new to us” travel trailer and truck…

For many creating space to take downtime and not think or talk about work, is challenging.  We are seeing the impacts of so many experiencing burnout, quiet quitting and presenteeism. Unless we create a plan to make this happen, this is only a dream and a wish.  There are times when the key projects we are leading and trying to create the space to pause, often feels like one more thing.  In some organizations there are patterns to when, due to operational requirements, taking time is just not possible. We need to find a different way.  Fostering psychological safety is critical so together…
