Past events
On Thursday, October 15th, 2015, at Stayer Center Auditorium, Marian University, Certified Strengths Educator Jennifer Krueger presented, “Well Being – the Five Essential Elements: Career, Social, Financial, Physical, and Community”. The presentation introduced concepts in the best-seller Well Being: The Five Essential Elements by Tom Rath, author of Strengths Finder 2.0, and Jim Harter, both from the Gallup organization. Gallup’s comprehensive study of people in over 150 countries revealed that these five interconnected elements shape our lives. Krueger said, “By taking an integrated approach to our well-being, we are more effective in our personal and professional lives.”
