This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Moving towards better health can be a challenge in its own right. Today's world has us tempted with many distractions. Cortney talks about some companies that have created an environment structured to get their employees on track to better health.
A former therapist with a master’s degree in social work, Cortney Rowan has honed an empathy-driven approach to human-centered design that builds trust and gains access. Showing a talent for connecting with people from an early age, she has spent the last 10 years in management consulting addressing systematic challenges and helping companies manage their people through large-scale organizational changes. Cortney is a Senior Design Strategist at Altitude, Inc, a Somerville-based design and innovation firm, where she regularly blends her talent for understanding people with her desire to build solutions that provide greater reach and impact.
Cortney is an avid explorer of the world — seeking to understand the lives of people foreign to her own. She is a lover of skiing and hiking whose happiest moments are when she is connecting with her two children.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
