Mind&Body@Work
Gen Z is entering the workforce with new perspectives and expectations.
In this podcast, we’re here to listen to their stories and experiences – their successes and frustrations - and help employers understand the mindset and perspectives of the up and coming workforce.
Employers can’t dictate what their young employees find meaningful—what they can do, however, is empower them to create their own sense of purpose and authentic connections.
Our curriculum is designed to help them do exactly that, EV Leader Lab is committed to paving the way for more curious, engaged and connected, young professionals in the workplace.

Elephants and the Well-being of the Herd

In this Episode, George Wittemyer, elephant researcher shares what he’s learned about elephant leadership styles and how the matriarch guides her herd through risky situations.
George considers elephants as very similar to humans in their intelligence and the importance of their social structures. As many herd leaders have been impacted by human poaching, George describes how the survivors repair the fabric of their intricate and important social networks (maybe some things we humans could learn from this?)
George is a Professor of Conservation Biology at Colorado State University, specializing in determining how landscape, humans, and climate - impact demography, distribution, behavior and movement of at risk wildlife populations – specifically elephants.
George’s team works to actively translate research into policy actions and apply them globally. He is the Chair of the Scientific Board of Save the Elephants and on IUCN’s African Elephants Specialist Group.
To learn more about George and his research, and/or to contribute to efforts to conserve these amazing beings, go to SavetheElephants.org. And George reminds us, think about the impact of consuming wildlife products (like ivory or pangolin scales, etc.) before you act!
