Wieden+Kennedy | Being Resilient
Wieden+Kennedy is one of the most fast-paced, high demand work environments out there. They produce incredible work and require a great deal from their team in order to achieve it. The pandemic took a huge toll on the mental and emotional health of their employees. With remote work environments and increasingly stressful circumstances, retention was at an all-time low. Supporting their employees with stress management became a necessity. There is a desire and commitment to create larger shifts.

What People Are Saying
“Coaching and collaborating with Jordan these last 3 years has been one of the great highlights of my career in mindfulness and personal development. She's so passionate about burnout prevention for professionals (and all beings), and is a true champion of wellbeing for all. While prioritizing wellbeing in the workplace is challenging, in the face of fast-paced, deadline-driven constraints that so many creatives and professionals face in their careers, Jordan shows up with an enduring hope and commitment to helping people be empowered, innovative and well. She's up for the challenge and opportunity, and has put in the foot work herself to cultivate professional success in unison with her wellbeing. It's contagious and highly influential, and I've seen her approach and energy move people into action over and over again these last few years.
Creating and delivering wellbeing programs together has been such a meaningful experience. She shows up with full heart, attention to detail, and precision of her craft. Her open-minded approach has been so helpful, helping us come together with our unique gifts and craft something in a unified way that remains in alignment with both of our visions, strengths and values.
I'm inspired by the value she brings to our clients, and I'm inspired and motivated by her presence, attention and energy --- and how bold she is. She demonstrates consistency and preparation with all she does, putting in the time, attention and thought to create the most impactful resources and programs she can. The programs we've worked on and delivered together have received such positive reviews from clients, and we see significant impact emerging after. Jordan's work ethic, strategic mind, and skill meets heart-centered curiosity and care: a rare combination for wellness or personal development coaches out there. I'm so grateful to partner with her on this path of preventing burnout and elevating wellbeing for the creatives and mover-shakers of our world, and can't wait to continue on this path together! If you have the chance to work with Jordan as a collaborator or client, I highly recommend you do. So many layers of learning, growth and opportunity await.”
