MORE HUMAN ACADEMY

 STRENGTHENING INDIVIDUALS, TEAMS, & BRANDS

 

OUR EXPERIENCES

  • Improve Holistic Wellness

  • Enhance Performance

  • Grow engagement

 

Angela Gorrell and Scottie Parker combine their years of expertise and work in higher education, the sports industry, and research to lead dynamic online and in-person experiences for high performance organizations and individuals. Most work wellness programs focus on sleep, exercise, relaxation techniques, financial planning, and stress and time management. We focus on holistic wellness & address neglected aspects of individual and work wellness that are ESSENTIAL: meaning and purpose, belonging, relationships, emotional fitness, & community engagement.

Holistic wellness not only matters for its own sake, it’s integral to performance and engagement. We think of holistic wellness as existential, vocational, relational, emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical well-being.

You can focus on one topic or you can engage in all three parts of the More Human Academy journey: Really Know Who You are, Live Your Purpose, Give Back. The three parts work together to help people move from improved holistic wellness to enhanced performance and then to growth in engagement. If you’re an individual taking this journey, think of enhanced performance as living fully alive and engagement as making a meaningful difference.
