Rewiring Your Company’s Operating System for Strategic Resilience
We face a global system failure costing $47 trillion by 2030—90% of healthcare spending goes to largely preventable chronic diseases, while 60% of Americans live with at least one chronic condition. This isn’t a physical health crisis or mental health crisis. This is a SOFTWARE crisis.
Dr. Jarik Conrad reveals how we’re running our lives on emotional software from the Stone Age while being constantly targeted by algorithms designed to hijack our vulnerable brains. After losing six family members to preventable diseases and transforming his own health (dropping cholesterol from 299 to 155), he discovered the Behavioral Operating System (BOS)—a breakthrough framework combining nutrition and fitness education, emotional intelligence, and life coaching to address four critical failure points that keep people stuck.
The BOS powers eight critical life batteries: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, family, professional, and financial. When these systems are optimized, transformation becomes inevitable. This presentation offers a practical roadmap for individuals and organizations to upgrade their human operating systems and unlock peak performance.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the Four Critical Failure Points Participants will learn to diagnose why traditional wellness and performance approaches fail by understanding the four specific barriers: not knowing WHAT to do for optimal health, HOW to make necessary changes, how to EXECUTE consistently, and how to SUSTAIN improvements long-term.
- Understand the Three-Component BOS Framework Attendees will master the integrated system combining Lifestyle Medicine (hardware upgrade through optimal nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management), Emotional Intelligence (software upgrade through self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social skills), and Life Coaching principles (technical support through vision, values, goals, and accountability).
- Implement Immediate BOS Upgrades Participants will leave with specific, actionable protocols they can begin implementing immediately to maximize their impact at home and at work.
Putting Your Mask on First Series
Tailored Presentations for Leaders in High-Stakes Roles Who Tend to Neglect Their Own Self-Care (CEOs, HR Professionals, Healthcare Leaders, and More).
It is beyond time for HR leaders to prioritize self-care.
topic overview example:
The roles and responsibilities of human resources professionals are becoming increasingly difficult and complex. HR teams tackle persistent talent shortages, increasing employee disengagement and burnout, growing uncertainty around DEI programs, and seemingly endless compliance and regulatory concerns—all while trying to build and maintain a positive organizational culture. In the hustle to meet heightened demands, HR professionals often neglect their own wellbeing, resulting in higher rates of stress, anxiety, and depression than the employees they serve.
During this session, Dr. Conrad will utilize the synergistic power of emotional intelligence and lifestyle medicine to equip HR professionals with the knowledge, strategies, and practical tools needed to effectively navigate their challenging roles while prioritizing and maintaining their own wellbeing.
Key Objectives:
- Understanding Health Trends: Detail the causes and consequences of the distressing health and wellness trends impacting HR professionals.
- Achieving Wellbeing and Building Resilience: Outline why emotional intelligence is essential for integrating evidence-based lifestyle medicine practices into daily routines to enhance holistic health.
- Cultural Transformation: Demonstrate how HR professionals can foster a culture of wellbeing to boost employee engagement and high performance.
