Better Beings

Creating thriving environments requires a holistic approach where everyone, from leaders to individuals, fosters a culture that supports both personal well-being and organizational success. This collective effort begins with a top-down approach to organizational culture, emphasizing leadership training that empowers leaders to model healthy behaviors and nurture a supportive environment.

Better Beings, one of the leading wellness consulting firms, focuses on cultivating environments where individuals thrive. Founded and led by a seasoned industry veteran, Michelle Zellner, with over 27 years of experience, the company offers a bespoke approach to wellness that transcends cookie-cutter solutions.

Zellner is a passionate advocate for health and wellness, dedicated to transforming lives through her work. With a deep commitment to inspiring others, she has positively impacted thousands of people, empowering them to take charge of their wellbeing. Driven by a desire to reach a global audience, she authored The YOU Revolution: The Journey of a Better Being, released in May 2019, followed by her second project, The PFF is Your BFF Handbook: A Simple Guide to Fueling Your Busy Body.

Continuing her mission to foster a thriving wellness community, Zellner launched the Be a Better Being Podcast in February 2022, further expanding her reach and influence. Through her books, podcast, and ongoing work, she remains dedicated to sharing her knowledge and energy, helping people everywhere lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Her company, Better Beings' strategy revolves around addressing the workspace challenges that hinder employee wellness. One of the primary problems with modern workstations is the sedentary nature of office employment, along with prolonged screen time, lack of natural daylight exposure, and unhealthy food options.

“People who work in an environment that prioritizes fitness will be healthier, happier and more productive. We instill a culture of well-being that permeates every aspect of the workplace by promoting breaks, healthy meal options, and a supportive environment that nurtures both physical and mental well-being,” says Zellner, owner of Better Beings.

Through the company’s comprehensive service offerings—ranging from leadership development workshops to wellness training and keynote conferences—it equips organizations with the tools to navigate challenges effectively.

A testament to impact of the company is seen through client success stories, where organizations have experienced significant improvements in communication, stress management, and overall team cohesion after engaging with Better Beings' programs. These transformations are not just superficial; they translate into tangible results such as enhanced safety, improved productivity, and a healthier work environment.

For instance, three years ago, Zellner engaged with a client facing significant challenges within their leadership team. She was introduced to the manager of the team through a virtual training session on avoiding burnout. Recognizing the potential benefits, he subsequently arranged a more extensive workshop for the entire leadership team.

Over the course of the half-day workshop, Zellner addressed foundational aspects of well-being and leadership, focusing on stress management, communication skills, and conflict resolution. The response was overwhelmingly positive, prompting the client to invite Zellner back the following year for an extended engagement. This subsequent session delved deeper into topics such as mental health awareness and effective communication strategies, which proved invaluable in fostering a healthier team dynamic.

Stories like this is possible due to the company’s boutique approach, where Zellner brings personalized services tailored to meet the specific needs of each client—whether they are a multinational corporation or a small business. Clients also appreciate dealing directly with the founder, ensuring a streamlined process that guarantees timely and attentive service.

As Better Beings continues to shape the future of workplace wellness, its impact resonates far beyond the office walls, nurturing healthier, happier humans worldwide.
