In this 45-minute panel discussion, Jennifer Rainey will moderate a discussion on exploring how belonging fuels engagement, innovation, and wellbeing for the next generation. Through a dynamic conversation we’ll examine how leaders can intentionally design cultures where people flourish—and where leadership itself becomes sustainable.

What if thriving at work came down to two simple shifts—leading with love and living with intention? Drawing inspiration from The Power of Love in Business and All In! The 28-Day Reset, this discussion explores how trust, courage, and compassion create high-performing, resilient teams. Expect to walk away with “Seven to Heaven” principles and small daily resets you can apply immediately to strengthen belonging and wellbeing across your organization.

Exercise and diet are critical factors in the etiology and prevention of chronic disease. While most books on chronic disease have a decided clinical approach, Diet, Exercise, and Chronic Disease: The Biological Basis of Prevention brings together the latest cellular- and molecular-based research on the etiology of chronic diseases and the impact of various aspects of diet and exercise on the causal mechanisms. Focusing on cellular biology reveals details of the integrative nature of the many different underlying factors―elements that are not evident in the general clinical approach to chronic disease.

This book highlights chronic diseases that are significant causes of mortality and have sufficient molecular evidence for dietary and activity-related components to their etiology. Individual chapters examine the role of diet and exercise in diabetes, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease. They cover aspects such as disease etiology, effects of diet and exercise, and the cellular and molecular mechanisms of how various dietary components and repeated exercise alter disease etiology to contribute to disease prevention.

This reference translates molecular-based data on etiology and prevention into a clinical prescription for chronic disease prevention. Since inflammatory signaling is a fundamental component of the chronic diseases discussed, the book includes a separate chapter on inflammation and innate immune responses. The book also reviews what is known about the factors that influence human food intake. Obesity as a contributing factor is addressed within the specific disease chapters.

Micro stress is a force in our everyday lives that we aren't even aware of—and it's so powerful it threatens to derail otherwise promising careers and lives.

&nbsp;

💥 It's the hidden epidemic of small moments of anxiety that infiltrate both our work and personal lives.

&nbsp;

Because each micro-stress is so tiny, it doesn't trigger the normal stress response in our brains to help us deal with it. Instead, the micro-stress embeds in our minds, accumulating with scores of other micro strains daily and week-to-week. The long-term effect is devastating: micro-stress invisibly weighs us down, damages our physical and emotional health, and contributes to a decline in our overall well-being.

&nbsp;

💥 GOOD NEWS: You can fight back once you learn about micro-stress. 

&nbsp;

Drawing on new research, Rob Cross and Karen Dillon will teach you how to recognize and manage the most common forms of micro stress and even remove some from your life. Compelling interviews with high achievers who've endured their share of micro-stress bring to life best practices that show you how to build resilience against micro-stress and, ultimately, how to find purpose in your everyday life, using it as an antidote to your micro-stress.
