21 | Leadership & Change<br />

That same year I quit the University of Nebraska to join<br />

Bellevue University, where I was given carte blanche<br />

to move towards my new goals. I decided to start<br />

what eventually became the Institute for Employee<br />

Wellbeing, a group dedicated to developing <strong>and</strong> testing<br />

software <strong>and</strong> processes to improve the wellbeing of<br />

local organizations.<br />

Throughout this period, from 2011 to 2014, I realized<br />

that there were, unfortunately, too few truly inspired<br />

organizational cultures. I came to see that the new<br />

frontier of wellbeing <strong>and</strong> happiness was the most<br />

important shift in the business world in my lifetime. So,<br />

I decided to forge ahead <strong>and</strong> start my own organization:<br />

The Institute for Inspired Organizational Cultures<br />

(IOC).<br />

Inspired Cultures<br />

The purpose of the IOC is to participate in developing<br />

a global community of leaders who are advocates for<br />

organizational cultures of wellbeing <strong>and</strong> happiness.<br />

We support college-level <strong>and</strong> professional students<br />

around the globe, from Europe to Asia to India <strong>and</strong><br />

beyond, providing them with unique educational<br />

materials <strong>and</strong> support.
