Consulting & Speaking Engagements
Is your organization struggling to experience wellbeing despite great effort and investment from leadership? Is your team considering new policies, programs, or offerings that align with a wellbeing framework but not clear how to begin? Are you energized by the idea of wellbeing but not sure what it actually means? We’re here to help.
Lately, wellbeing is getting a lot of attention. It’s used to talk about any number of things from mental health to belonging to mindfulness and more. It’s connected to organizations, economies, the environment, and communities. And there is a prevailing sense that we need to “figure out” this whole wellbeing thing, because time has run out to do otherwise. Just thinking like this feels stressful, at least to us!
As thought leaders and stewards of the global wellbeing community, we have our finger on the pulse of what’s happening in the arena. And as scientists, educators, and evaluators, we’re keen to distill the gems from the noise.
Working with us offers insight into the heart of the movement.
