Marc Michaelson is a distinguished professional with a remarkable career spanning over four decades in the realm of human and organizational development.

He was one of the original founders of the Workplace Wellness movement in 1978, pioneering a new approach to wellness and well-being that has transcended conventional boundaries over the past four decades.

In a landscape characterized by a constant evolution in wellness, organizational development, leadership, and management, Marc's dedication to lifelong learning keeps him at the forefront of trends and innovations.

His foresight led to the introduction of the groundbreaking concept of Intergenerational Intelligence (IGQ) in 2019, redefining cross-generational communication and fostering collaborative environments enriched by diverse perspectives, mutual mentoring, and support for intergenerational well-being education.

Among Marc's many influential programs is the D3 Leadership Learning program, which integrates total life well-being with leadership principles and strategies for leadership development. With this fusion of skills, leaders gain a balanced foundation for success on both a personal and professional level.

His forthcoming book, "The Art of Pivoting To Generative Purpose: Navigating Meaning and Well-Being in an Era of Longevity," set to be released in Spring 2024, promises to guide individuals on a transformative journey toward embracing generative purpose and well-being in the face of extended lifespans.
