Coaching a Fortune 500 Head of Well-Being to Disrupt the Systems That No Longer Serve Us | Elizabeth Ross | Ep 1105 — Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong

"Where is our agency as beings? Because we're not human doings, right?" - Elizabeth Ross

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Elizabeth Ross for a live coaching conversation. Elizabeth brings 20 years in health and well-being from a population health perspective, including her time as head of health and well-being for a Fortune 500 company. Through her keynote Distracted by Design, her Substack and the Art of Being Journey she took through 22 states, she helps us look at the systems around us, from the attention economy to the way work runs, so we can disrupt the ones that no longer serve us as human beings. She started Disrupt HR in her state and brought Conscious Capitalism and Mindful Employer to Maine, and she comes in to expand this awareness with more people and be invited to speak with more groups.

You'll walk away with:
- How to look at the systems around you, from the phone in your pocket to the way work runs
- What changes when you stop playing at the pace of keeping up and design how you want to play
- The one-minute pause before a meeting that shaved 15 minutes off it
