Abstract

The question about special health program for VIP's has been discussed several times. A definition of VIP is a key person either in top management or a person with unique competence in an organization. In small companies you find 5–10 VIP's, in bigger companies up to 50. Our customers indicated a positive interest in a new type of program. They were not satisfied with just a standard screening. They wanted more from screening than just dealing with symptoms of not wellbeing. Most of them had earlier joined different personal development programs. They find those programs useful with well-motivated reasons for change in life patterns. Therefore as a top management consultant, but also certified to work with lifestyle, stress and axiological profile, I was at that time training top management both as individuals and as a team. It was therefore easy for me to combine a personal development program with lifestyle-health screening. In our new program for VIP's we therefore work with both individuals and teams and with both health and personal development.
