Wellness Strategies holds two teleseminars each month. (If you’re not familiar with the concept of teleseminars, just think of them as conference calls.)

Track One - At 7:30 AM on the second Thursday of each month – before you get into your busy day - we will present the latest information and practical strategies for business leaders on the topic of workplace wellness – emphasizing how to design and sustain your company’s wellness program.

Track Two - At 7:00 PM on the first Monday of each month – after dinner but before your favorite TV show - our topic will emphasize personal development, individual health, and productivity.

Track One – Workplace Wellness
