> Miroo Kim is a change maker for systemic wellbeing in organizations. In her 20 years of career at Apple, Meta (Facebook), and Microsoft, she loved bringing meaningful impact to people through the latest technologies. Ironically in this process, Miroo discovered that the best technology was already inside us - the human mind. But she also learned that we neither use it well nor take care of it. Recovering from burnout and depression, Miroo learned that the healthy human mind is the foundation to achieving individual dreams and business goals. This led her to found People+Culture, the coaching company that develops leaders and organizations with the culture of wellbeing. As a founder and CEO of People+Culture, Miroo helps leaders and workplaces build the culture of wellbeing so that they can achieve their dreams and business goals sustainably. As an experienced coach, facilitator, and trainer, Miroo offers effective workshops and training for organizational mindfulness, emotional intelligence (Search Inside Yourself™), resilience, and compassion & belonging (Compassion Cultivation Training™). More than 3,000 people and 100 teams participated in Miroo’s training and workshops at various tech companies such as Autodesk, AWS, and Meta and many startups globally find it effective with increased meaning and clarity. Through her upcoming book, <The Placeholder>, Miroo is excited about coaching high performing individuals to reinvent their career grounded in the culture of wellbeing.
