Chase Sterling

I am the Executive Director of Wellbeing Think Tank, a 501c3 nonprofit that focuses on well-being at work. I've worked in workplace well-being for over 20 years, and I'm an organizational psychologist by trade with a concentration in occupational health. Throughout my career, I've worked at major companies like Google and Cigna, served at Wounded Warrior Project, and was a professor at Sinclair Community College. I started Wellbeing Think Tank in 2019 because our number one ethos is that workplaces should not cause harm. Unfortunately, a lot of workplaces today are unintentionally causing harm. I've had really positive experiences in the workplace and negative ones, and I think all of us could probably say that. But my passion is trying to create a world where we only have positive experiences at our workplaces. If we could create a world where our workplaces aren't causing harm, it would improve our communities and society as a whole. Just imagine if you left work every day and you felt good, like you didn't feel dragged down or anything. That's what we're trying to create. We really focus on the science and the research, and work with practitioners, like everyday people who are doing this work inside organizations. No one person has all the answer, and no one organization does either, so that's really where the think tank comes into play. It's how do we really bring people together to collaborate, because I think that's really important, and even more meaningful now.
