Workshop 👉 Unlocking the Wellbeing Effect

healthy lifestyle workshop

What if the metric that matters most isn’t risk reduced—but life amplified? In this dynamic workshop, Dr. Seth Serxner—public health scientist, former Fortune 100 Chief Health Officer, and author of The Wellbeing Effect—invites you to rethink everything you know about wellness.

Dr. Serxner blends cutting-edge science with a powerful personal story of a near-fatal ski accident, bringing a relatable, real-world perspective that goes far beyond theory. Expect an engaging, thought-provoking session filled with practical insights, real-life examples, and an interactive Q&A.

You’ll discover why purpose and hope outperform willpower, how culture and community shape lasting health outcomes, and what it truly means to shift from “wellness” to “wellbeing.” Walk away with simple, bite-sized practices, a fresh approach to changing behavior, and an understanding of what actually drives a better quality of life—for yourself and those around you.
