Wellness Champions of the Quarter 2023 Q4
It’s our final segment of the 2023 Wellness Champions of the Quarter!
Each quarter we highlight CG Zest Wellness members who “foster, facilitate, or engage workplaces and its employees in an active process of increased consciousness and wisdom, working toward a more successful existence.”
This quarter, our wellness champions are Jen Pratt-Wagner from Deloitte in Cayman and Darnell Simmons from Coralisle Group in Bermuda!
Jen Pratt-Wagner, our Wellness Champion from Cayman, embodies a passion for well-being at Deloitte. Leading a committee of Well-being Champions, her knowledge extends across various initiatives aimed at fostering a corporate culture of wellness. From health checks to in-office massages, she actively engages in delivering offerings that elevate overall well-being.
Jen's role goes beyond leadership; she implements impactful actions and delivers on numerous well-being initiatives, leaving no stone unturned. Managing committee administration, budgets, and schedules, she ensures the seamless execution of wellness programs. Jen's recent efforts in communicating the benefits of wellness platforms like Zest Wellness and Virgin Pulse underscore her commitment to engaging employees for collective well-being.
“Jen is the most incredible partner-in-wellness I could ask for!”
Jen's wellness story is one of balance and purpose. After her focus shifted to her kids, she realized her own wellness journey needed attention. Identifying community involvement as her purpose, she integrated volunteerism and 5K charity walks into her routine, often with her daughter in tow. Donating blood and encouraging others to do the same became part of her wellness practice, resulting in improved health and enhanced physical and mental well-being.
Darnell Simmons stands represents the power of transformation. Witnessing her journey, from a shift in attitude towards food and fitness to a complete lifestyle overhaul, is awe-inspiring. Darnell is not just hitting the gym more frequently; she's reshaping her entire outlook. Her dedication to mental well-being is evident, and it radiates through her newfound satisfaction with life and surroundings.
Recognizing the need for change, she took charge of her wellness journey, motivating herself and inspiring colleagues to make positive choices. Realizing the inevitable effects of aging and potential health issues became a catalyst for her transformation. Increased exercise, cutting out soda, and dedicated weekly food prep are tangible actions she's taken on her path to wellness.
Darnell has become an inspiration to colleagues, urging them to prioritize better health choices. Darnell's journey proves that small changes, consistently applied, lead to significant and sustainable results. Her story is a great example for those seeking a holistic approach to wellness.
