Dr. Katherine Meese: Building the Foundations of Trust

Dr. Katherine Meese, co-author of The Human Margin, CEO of HuMargin Group, and Director of Research at the UAB Medicine Office of Wellness, is a leading voice in organizational behavior, workforce wellbeing, and leadership development. 

Known for a solutions-focused approach, she helps leaders move beyond surface wellness tactics to design systems where people and performance thrive. Her research shows that trust, communication, and organizational design determine how energy flows through teams and cultures.

At The Healthy Leader, we teach that multi-dimensional energy — mental, emotional, and physical — is the engine of sustainable self-leadership. Dr. Meese expands that conversation to the organizational level by showing how trust is the conduit that allows individual energy to scale into collective strength and how burnout declines when systems restore rather than drain people.

In this session you will learn how to:

• Strengthen trust as the foundation for engagement and performance
• Address system-level causes of burnout with evidence-based solutions
• Align personal and organizational energy systems for resilience and clarity
• Design cultures that protect energy and promote fulfillment

Join us to explore how science and strategy come together to build the human margin that sustains thriving leaders and thriving organizations.
