    Reflect on your favorite job. Chances are, it wasn’t the projects that stood out; it was the people. The boss who trusted you. The colleague who had your back. The manager who took the time to check in.

    About: Passion for your Company and its Mission requires energy and commitment to show up for your customers and stakeholders. How do we prioritize our well-being to show up for ourselves, our teams, and our supporters?

    When people are confident and feel healthy, they’re more likely to develop psychological ownership, which means they feel their work and the company's mission have purpose. This investment significantly boosts engagement, and engaged employees are far more likely to believe in the mission.

    This high-energy, data-driven, and fully interactive conversation will empower employees to be healthy and confident, so they can show up as their best selves at work and, most importantly, live healthy lives with loved ones.
