Welcome to the Wellbeing Watercooler

Join The Wellbeing Watercooler

This is a weekly professional learning and support hub for HR leaders, OD consultants, coaches, and practitioners ready to apply the science of flourishing in real, practical, people-first ways.

The Wellbeing Watercooler is a living community and ongoing support space designed for leaders and changemakers in mental wellness, leadership, and positive workplace culture. 

Get tools, training, and a like-minded peer network — so you never have to choose between professional impact and personal wellbeing again.

This is for you if you’re:

  • A coach, facilitator, or OD/HR leader guiding others through personal or organizational growth.

  • Wanting new, ready-made science-backed tools to quickly improve wellbeing that you can use with your teams, clients and even yourself

  • Tired of doing meaningful work in isolation or without the right tools.

  • Craving ongoing support, collaboration, and fresh ideas without spending thousands on certifications.

  • Committed to using evidence-based practices but need help translating science into action.

  • A believer that better workplaces and healthier lives are worth building and you  want to be part of a movement making that happen.

What’s included each month?

  • Week 1: Louisa will teach and share evidence-based, ready-to-go tools on topics including leadership, flourishing, wellbeing, confidence, team building, coaching and so much more!  Many of Louisa’s tools are based in the leading science and research in positive psychology. 

    Together we will learn tools at the me, we and us levels. (me=How to improve my own wellbeing, we=how to improve the wellbeing of people I work with, leaders, teams, clients,  us=How to implement programs at the organizational or community level.)

    These masterclasses are workshop-style & interactive with an accompanying  workbook. Walk away with powerpoints and workbooks for easy implementation.

  • Week 2: Together, we will take what we learned in the monthly live masterclass and practice coaching, facilitation, or implementation of the key models, activities and exercises shared. Here we focus on tools and practice

  • Week 3: Small-group breakouts to troubleshoot real client/team challenges. This is application in action. The group will share challenges & opportunities with a community of like-minded professionals who can help. Supportive, practical, and focused on real-world application

  • Week 4: Here you will have an opportunity to ask questions, discuss tools, review case challenges, and work through tricky client dynamics.

  • Weekly recordings and  downloadable resources including workbooks, cheat sheets, facilitation guides and exercises are added to the resource library so you can refer back to them when needed.  All resources will be designed for immediate use with clients, teams, or organizations, curated by topic: Leadership, Resilience, Motivation, Confidence, Teams etc.

  • Weekly themes, research drops, idea sharing, peer accountability, resource swapping, and feedback requests.

Here’s What We’ll Do Together…

  • Build programs that energize teams and inspire leaders

  • Bring research-based practices to life in coaching or group work

“I joined feeling lost in my career, unsure of what I wanted next, and lacking confidence in my abilities. I didn’t even know what my goals were!

The Resilience for High Performance workshop delivered by Louisa Jewell to our sales and services teams at Patient News was interesting, entertaining and highly effective. Louisa clearly has full command of the subject. She delivered the content, true to the theme of her book, with total confidence, wit and rigor. Leading up to the session, Louisa took the time to really get to know our company, team and objectives and brilliantly structured the afternoon to meet our specific needs. From individual character strength identification to uncovering the 6 pillars of wellness, the content really engaged and I received many overwhelmingly positive comments from session participants. What really resonated were the “actual tools” Louisa introduced to help attendees incorporate the learnings into real practice. I even heard one of our senior sales executives on the phone with a prospective client saying “I work with an amazing organization that really cares about people. We recently had an expert in Positive Psychology here to coach us on how to be more effective, productive and happy. She was fantastic”. I highly recommend Louisa Jewell to any organization wanting to enhance the performance and interconnectedness of their teams. The Resilience for High-Performance program is for you!
