Michelle Spehr

I serve others by curating connections; connecting people, connecting ideas, and connecting people with ideas. I’m inquisitive and energized about the process of learning. Transforming something strong into something superb is thrilling. I believe everything happens for a reason and that we are all connected. I value being considerate, caring and accepting. The future fascinates and inspires me. I see what the future might hold, and this motivates me to move toward a better approach, a better team, a better life, and a better world.

In my consulting work, I help employers identify and apply creative solutions so that they can address wellbeing at both the employee and organizational levels. I love learning about and applying new sciences and emerging strategies that help create high performing organizations. I’m currently exploring how we can apply design thinking and human-centered design principles to reframe worksite wellbeing challenges and spark new ways of addressing these complex issues.

My other interests include the Mindful City Project where I am working to develop frameworks that strengthen the capacity of communities to apply mindfulness in ways that positively change mindsets and re-invent how people connect and work together. I’m also a member of the planning committee for Fusion 2.0. The conference brings together people from multiple disciplines to collaborate on, learn about, and celebrate positive change at the workplace.
