Dr. Rosie Ward - Rehumanizing Sales: Embracing Authenticity

Dr. Rosie Ward embarked on her career journey in 1994 within the fitness industry, initially as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer, with a lasting affection for Zumba. Her academic pursuits led her to earn a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and a master’s degree in Public Health, specializing in worksite health promotion. However, a disillusionment with the conventional approach to employee wellness spurred her to seek a new direction. Experiencing firsthand the detrimental effects of a toxic work environment, she pursued a Ph.D. in Organization and Management, concentrating on organizational culture, leadership, and coaching. Recognizing the intrinsic link between individual well-being and organizational health, Dr. Ward transitioned through various leadership and consulting roles. Co-founding Salveo Partners, LLC, she established a consulting and professional development firm committed to revitalizing workplaces, fostering environments where organizations and their employees can flourish.
