UBF Consulting is pleased to present our 2016 Health & Well-being Workshop. This year, we are bringing a few extraordinary voices to discuss about what’s next in wellness and managing the health and productivity of a company’s workforce. Wellness has become prevalent among companies throughout the world but the results have been extremely lacking. While the intent of most has been good, most fail to produce improvement in health and reduction in healthcare costs. This interactive session will take a look at where healthcare costs are headed, why programs fail, and share some ideas about what works.
You will come away from this workshop inspired and informed about what to do about the health and wellness program your company. Informed with tools that you can apply immediately. Inspired by the power of the stories and real life examples that will be shared.

Vic Strecher, Professor and Director for Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship, University of Michigan
Victor Strecher, an award-winning pioneer in the field of behavioral science and professor at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, lost his nineteen-year-old daughter, Julia, to a rare heart disease that resulted from an infant case of chicken pox. This life event challenged every aspect of Strecher’s personal and professional experience and drove him to an exhaustive search, from ancient philosophy to cutting-edge science, to pinpoint the potential and impact of purpose in our lives. What is it? How can we discover it? And what does the latest research tell us about the importance of how purpose affects our overall health and happiness?
The results of this groundbreaking investigation are revelatory and the crux of this engaging discussion. But Life on Purpose does more than just provide the latest science; it offers a step-by-step program for improving energy, willpower, health, and long-term happiness.
