bill-mcbrideThe CEO Pledge is a wonderful declaration for organizations large and small in showing the commitment of senior leadership on the importance of healthy lifestyles and the behaviors that lead to health and well-being. Wellness is much more than lack of disease, good health, fitness levels - it also entails happiness, financial security, fulfillment, and purpose. The CEO Pledge is a simple way to show CEO leadership on the most important aspect of business - People.
