In an era of burnout and “always-on” culture, understanding how to manage our mental and physical energy isn’t just a luxury; it’s a necessity. Join us for an engaging virtual session featuring Jennifer Posa, Ph.D ‘93, a leader in the field of Industrial-Organizational Psychology and an expert in the science of how we thrive. From her early days as a Psychology major ���������� to her Doctorate in ��Industrial-Organizational, Posa has spent her career bridging the gap between health fitness management and organizational health. As a Chief Wellbeing Officer, she doesn’t just look at data; she looks at the human experience.

In this session, we’ll cover the evolving role of the Chief Wellbeing Officer and why this perspective has become a critical necessity in our modern world. We will analyze the current state of global well-being to understand the data behind where we are collectively, followed by a live personal assessment in which you’ll use a “Wellbeing Wheel” to visualize and reflect honestly on your own life. Finally, we’ll bridge the gap from data to intentional action, exploring how you can leverage personal agency and resilience to better navigate your environments and relationships.
