WO M E N I N L E A D E R S H I P : It Shouldn’t Take a Hundred Years

AG EN DA

SEAN FOY, ma PRESIDENT & FOUNDER, PERSONAL WELLNESS CORPORATION

If your employees had one wish to transform any aspect of their lives, what do you think they would wish for? If we’re honest, don’t we all want to be STRONGER in some area of our lives? What if we were to tell you that your employees and your organization could get stronger in only 8 minutes a day? We distilled the best positive psychology modalities, strength based coaching methods, physical fitness training, goal setting, mindfulness and personal development strategies into an 8-minute daily ritual your employees can easily learn and apply in the convenience of their everyday lives. It’s time for a new way of doing fitness and wellness.

We call it Daily STRONGER©: Transformation at The Speed of Life. Daily STRONGER© is a one-of-a-kind, 8-minute, holistic, strength-based coaching system that gives your organization a routine competitive advantage.

In this interactive and engaging workshop you will understand:

• The value of strength based coaching: Discover the latest research on the potential of Strength Based Coaching and the impact it can have on your organization.

• How to spot signature strengths: Uncover how to help others reveal their innate strengths with assessment tools, questions, and exercises to empower individuals to live their best lives.

• Putting strengths to work: Learn pragmatic 8-minute holistic routines to effectively strengthen individuals and teams at work.

In Partnership with

It is projected to take at least 100 years to achieve global gender equity, from income to health. Issues from gender health disparities to sexual harassment to pay equity all have an impact on the health of workers. This makes global gender equity a mandatory area of focus if corporate health promotion professionals mean to take a comprehensive look at what it truly means to be well at work. This session begins with an overview of women in the workplace—what is their history, and where are women today? You’ll learn from companies and leaders making positive changes for women in the workplace, discuss unique barriers for women based on age, diversity and socioeconomic challenges, and—most critically—hear about exciting new GW4W research connecting women’s health/wellbeing issues to leadership issues. Finally, take part in a panel of male leaders who will be discussing how we can all do a better job supporting women in the workplace.

In this relevant all-day intensive, you will leave with key takeaways including:

• A better understanding of gender barriers and how to address them.

• Examples of organizations and leaders making positive changes for gender equity in the workplace.

• Tactical policies and initiatives that can be applied in your own work environment.

The Nutritional Reversal of Cardiovascular Disease: Fact or Fiction?CALDWELL ESSELSTYN, md

Coronary artery disease is virtually non-existent in cultures which thrive on plant-based nutrition. Similarly, patients with coronary artery disease who transition totally to plant-based foods may halt and selectively reverse their disease. What do we as health promotion professionals need to understand about this groundbreaking approach to the prevention and reversal of disease? Learn how, through years of clinical application, research and strategy utilizing whole food, plant-based nutrition, Dr. Esselstyn’s methods are now proving to halt and even reverse heart disease and many chronic illnesses.

Micromoves to Build a Positive WorkplaceCHRIS WHITE

Culture change can seem intimidating. However it does not always need to be an intimidating and costly process. This session will share several research-based interventions to apply right away in your organization.

The Healthy Workplace NudgeREX MILLER

Organizations face a growing health cost crisis that threatens to swallow profits and drain the vitality of their workforce unless we adopt a radically different approach to workplace health and well-being. The Cleveland Clinic predicts costs will double by 2025 if a radical shift does not happen soon, creating both economic and social disruption. Rex Miller addresses this challenge with research by more than 100 corporate leaders and experts over a two-year project.

You’re invited to access to Imperative’s Purpose Profile as part of your experience to reach your own North Star.

The Relationship Comes FirstJASON LAURITSEN

Work has been defined in many ways over the years: a contract, a transaction, a value exchange. This led to describing humans as capital and designing systems that treat people like assets to be managed and optimized. Is it any wonder that employees’ feeling of engagement within these organizations continues to drop? It doesn’t feel good to be treated like an investment to be maximized. To reverse this trend requires that we understand what work is for employees, a relationship, and a critically important one. Research has shown us that employees crave the same things from work that they do from other important relationships in their lives: appreciation, acceptance, communication, commitment, and support. Come explore how designing the employee experience through the lens of a healthy relationship will focus your employee engagement efforts for greater impact.

Harnessing the Power of Community to Change Your LifeDEE EASTMAN

If you want to predict how happy and healthy someone is, find out about their social networks. Having strong relationships has been shown to be one of the greatest predictors of health and overall wellbeing as it strengthens the immune system, extends life expectancy, improves self-worth, increases a sense of purpose and helps to foster joy. We are wired to interact and be intertwined with others, to give and take and to find a place to belong. Join us as we explore stories of life change that were built through community and take away ideas that will impact your life and those around you.

Mental and Emotional Wellbeing is the Way, Now is the TimeCORY SMITH

The pace of work and rising stress in the workplace seems difficult to slow down, much less reverse. Activities and investments in employees that once seemed discretionary and “nice-to-have” are now key to supporting performance and engagement and reducing stress. Cory will share anecdotes of what individuals and companies are doing to address these challenges and why now is the best time to step forward as a leader for emotional and mental wellbeing in one’s organization.

Social Determinants of HealthRICK HECHT, mft, mba

We really don’t understand the lives that most Americans live. To improve employee health, we must learn about their barriers. What gets in the way of living a healthy life? Social determinants of health include things like access to healthy food, clean drinking water, reliable transportation, access to good education, safe housing, employment opportunities, and access to good health care. Wellbeing begins where we live, learn, work and play. It starts with our families, in our schools, our neighborhoods and at our worksites. To address employee wellbeing, our efforts must extend into the community. Improving health and wellbeing is not about a program, it is about building a movement.

Breaking Through the Maternal WallTET SALVA

We often talk about the “glass ceiling,” but too often avoid the conversation around the challenges women and mothers face in the workplace, or the “maternal wall.” The maternal wall is one of the more prevalent biases in our society, stemming from stereotypes that link women with the lack of competence and commitment once they have children. Research has found that mothers are 79% less likely to be hired; 50% less likely to be promoted; make 20% less in salary for the same position; and held to higher performance standards than their peers. It is time to shift our mindset, disrupt the old paradigms, and architect innovative solutions to better support our moms in this modern era.

Doing Well by Doing Good: The Surprisingly Strong Link Between Social Responsibility and Wellness presented by HEATH SHACKLEFORD, WALKER MORROW & JOLENE GOLDSMITH

A growing number of organizations are designing business models that deeply commit to social impact, with a belief that having a higher purpose leads to higher profits. But wait, there’s more! Being socially responsible can also improve recruitment, retention and the overall health of employees. In this session social impact experts will draw direct links between socially responsible business practices (including earth friendly facilities and charitable giving) and gains in employee wellness. They will also expand how you think about wellness, while offering practical tips and tools for examining your organization’s social impact and advancing cross-departmental conversations that link doing well and doing good.

The Legal Importance of “Voluntary” Wellness Programs BARBARA J. ZABAWA, jd, mph

Get ready to immerse yourself in the concept of what constitutes a “voluntary” workplace wellness program.

Senses of a Healthy WorkplaceLEIGH STRINGER, leed ap

There are “nudges” in the built environment all around us that drive our behavior. This presentation shares some of the ways the built environment can positively affect decisions we make about our health. What we see, hear, smell, taste, and feel impacts our actions—and emerging research in urban planning, occupational health, and behavioral science validates this. Leigh will share findings from her recently released book, “The Healthy Workplace,” including ways space can encourage movement, healthy eating habits, reduce stress and improve well-being. Leigh will sign books after her presentation.

Setting Your Organization on the Path to a Real (and Lasting) Culture of WellnessWISDOM LABS - PARNEET PAL, mbbs, ms + MEGHNA MAJMUDAR

Whether it’s a diet, a fitness plan, or a mindfulness initiative, long-term success with any wellness program requires some level of change—at the individual and group level. But the real impact happens when the organization stops thinking in terms of “wellness programs,” and invests instead in a “culture of wellness”. Join Parneet and Meghna for a working session on seeding real and lasting change. Participants will leave this 90-minute session with next steps to set their organization on the path to a culture of wellness.
