A vibrant life comes from the inside out.
Everyone craves a personal and professional life they feel enthusiastic about. They want to feel happy and healthy, energetic and productive.
Recognizing that employees at the top of their game are good for business, many organizations invest in wellness initiatives that promise improved well-being but fall short of expectations. As a result, despite millions of dollars invested in employee wellness, people experience temporary changes followed by a retreat back to habitual patterns that disrupt their well-being and performance.
The missing piece is why people make the choices they do.
There is a better way.
Health and wellness speaker Dr. Michelle May shows your teams how to harness the power of the Vibrant Well-Being triad: mindful eating, joyful movement, and intentional self-care.
