Leader Wellbeing Index℠

We research how the wellbeing of leaders impacts performance and innovation

As part of Abroad's CSR initiatives, Abroad’s team of psychologists, executive coaches, and venture capitalists just completed a 5-year landmark study on the mental and emotional health of 1,300+ leaders. We’re enlisting charter partners to champion Leader Wellbeing for the betterment of the global innovation ecosystem and humanity as a whole.

Senior Executives

In collaboration with leadership networks globally, we are researching the unique wellbeing challenges that corporate executives face behind the scenes.

Doctors & Physicians

We are working with networks of doctors to better understand the challenges they face running their practices while working directly with patients.

Investment Portfolios

We provide insights and analytics to venture capital and private equity portfolios to help them unlock hidden potential and
mitigate risk within their portfolios.

Our Partners

As an impact-driven organization, we don’t have the hubris to think we
can make lasting, positive, systemic change alone.

Together, we can create a sustainable ripple in the fabric of our global society - changing it from a system that promotes stress, non-stop activity, and depletion to one that encourages liberation, inner discovery, and creative potential.

We’re rallying support from a global cooperative of mission-aligned partners to foster healthy innovation ecosystems and promote leader wellbeing.
