Below is an excerpt from November’s Theme: REVIEW   November 2022 | REVIEW CAN TECH SCALE WELLNESS FOR ALL? That’s the question I was most intrigued to ask Nichol Bradford as part of The Wellness Moonshot initiative’s audacious mission to create a world free of preventable disease. Nichol is cofounder of both the Transformative Technology Lab and the human potential investment company Niremia Collective. Consequently, she is uniquely suited to provide a review of the mushrooming tech industry—from AI and robotics to sensors and synthetic biology—as applied to human health and development. According to Nichol, part of tech’s appeal is that it makes what is scarce abundant; tech drives down cost, causing wellness…

Wisdom Works study seeks participants from industries serious about prioritizing wellbeing to find out if leaders are thriving.  November 2022, Colorado Springs—Wisdom Works Group has launched a groundbreaking study of leadership across the $4.4 trillion global wellness economy, as well as the adjacent industries of healthcare and human potential and development. The study seeks to answer two questions: As leaders of industries built to promote health and wellbeing, are we thriving personally? Are we advancing wellbeing through how we lead?

Further detail from the Gallup’s latest research is sobering: Four in 10 adults worldwide feel a lot of worry (42%) or stress (41%), three in 10 experience a lot of physical pain (31%), and 20% report not having a single person they can count on for help. There is a lack of wellbeing in workplaces, along with a rise in its significance. According to a recent report by Deloitte, 68% of employees and 81% of the C-Suite say improving their wellbeing is more important than advancing their career, yet both groups (83% of employees and 74% of executives) say they face obstacles to doing so.
