wellbeing X design

Wellbeing X Design uses design thinking applied to wellbeing to guide individuals and organizations design their lives and businesses within their Parameters to Thrive.

“Wellbeing is not just a nice-to-have, it is a vital part of doing business in today’s world.”

—Deloitte

According to global business innovation experts Deloitte, wellbeing in the workplace is not just a nice-to-have, it is a vital part of doing business in today’s world. But wellbeing at work is broken; in fact, almost 100% of architects say they’re burnt out, and according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average tenure of an architecture associate is 1.6 years–the same as a fast food worker.

Wellbeing X Design tools for daily creative renewal contain neuroscience-backed micro practices that energize leaders with creativity, clarity and the ability to meaningfully integrate work, love and play in alignment with their authentic selves.

Our science-backed BeWellLeadWell Pulse assessment illustrates how the foundations of health directly support clarity of vision, creative vitality and innovation.

Wellbeing X Design provides a measurement tool, accredited CEUs, workshops, 1:1 coaching, and the WELLbeings X Design Vitality Circle wellness sanctuary to empower multigenerational professionals to hold boundaries around the foundations of health. Neuroscience-backed micropractices help teams + individuals sustain inspiration, engagement, and creativity-on-demand. Associates cultivate inner resilience, leadership, and the ability to inspire cross-generational learning and wisdom. Teams who integrate Wellbeing X Design’s micro practices report benefiting from enhanced resilience to stress, consistent clarity, a greater sense of wellbeing, and increased ease and flow of life.

Wellbeing X Design’s restorative model of Continuing Education serves an industry struggling with burnout. The Creativity X Design CEU provides an energizing and empathetic experience. This interactive workshop qualifies for 1.5 Continuing Education Credits from the International Design Continuing Education Council

Participants in the Creativity X Design and Sleep X Design CEUs receive two companion guides–The A+D Wellness Toolkit and The Sleep System: 28 Days to Better Sleep, while regular check-ins provide consistency, coaching, goal-setting and the benefits of practicing wellbeing in community.

“Megan stokes new thoughts on the importance of sleep and creativity. I have watched Megan translate neuroscience and wellbeing into accessible, actionable insights for her audiences. Megan reaches participants by presenting scientific caliber research on the foundations of health, the neuroscience of sleep and how they support creativity. Her accessible and engaging instruction is anchored in movement and the five senses, a novel format that appeals to a designer’s sensibility…

…Megan has begun to affect a mindshift in the design industry. Attendees are captivated by the interesting, fast-moving, interactive presentations woven with hard truths and activism, and softened by occasional humor. Megan’s thoroughly researched and organized facts, proof, theories and numbers appeal to the evidence-based architect and CEO, while creative minds are captivated by instruction that encourages the integration of applied knowledge to create professional environments that inspire harmony of mind, body and soul. I left Megan’s presentations feeling empowered with the knowledge to boost my wellbeing and support my creative processes.”

—Veronika Miller, CEO + Founder Modenus Media | Designhounds | Design Uncut

Megan is a WELL Faculty, which means she has been designated by the International Well Building Institute as an acclaimed expert in the areas related to the WELL Building Standard; for example, circadian health, air quality, and Biophilia (our brain’s love of nature!). Megan’s talks on sleep and creativity have been well-received by audiences in a broad array of professions from A/E/C, commercial real estate, pharmaceutical to IO psychology.

“Circles precipitate psychological safety; especially when a facilitator shares vulnerably. Circles also enable full body listening—the ability to read reactions, body language, facial expressions, and, most importantly, to hear what is being left unsaid. I embrace confusion and cognitive dissonance as opportunities to elaborate, clarify or pivot.” Download my Speaker Profile and CV below to read more about my facilitation ethos.
