JEANETTE LUISE EBERHARDY, PhD, MFA

Jeanette Luise Eberhardy has been called a magician because she draws out the unique creative strengths in a wide range of individuals and empowers them to act. This work can appear to be beyond human ability. However it's not magic. Eberhardy's work is the result of expertise and education. Her methods and techniques are tried and tested all over the world. She designs Learning Labs that bring clarity to meaningful work through an inclusive process. Why does this matter? Because it's hard to get to the essence of a problem without fresh ways of seeing the familiar.

Trained in Social Ecology, Eberhardy learned the value of interdisciplinary work and systems thinking. She relies on research that has proven the utility of conceptual blending across fields of knowledge and experience — to move beyond the standard boundaries of thought and access new insights for work.

Eberhardy holds a PhD in Educational Psychology, and an MFA in Creative NonFiction Writing. She has extensive experience in both business and educational settings. Eberhardy is currently working on the book Creating Meaningful Work focused on global activists, entrepreneurs, and artists who have successfully integrated work, education, and life purpose.
