Anyone who has been a victim of the herd mentality-- whether for being a black sheep or going along with the herd- will want to know why people become sheeple...how the peer pressure process works, whether on the playground, in the locker room, in the boardroom, or on the battlefield.
A rising star with a PhD in Social Psychology from the #1 ranked program in the U.S. (U. Michigan, Ann Arbor, US News & World Report, 2022), Dr. Treynor is a wisdom-keeper of how the peer pressure process works as it relates to why we unknowingly compromise ourselves under social pressure and thought-leader offering a revolutionary new framework for self-understanding, self-insight, and self-growth based on social psychological principles, related to: 1) "doing the right thing," 2) diversity and inclusion, 3) bullying, 4) emotional recovery (from past bullying or socially-induced depression), and 5) self-confidence and happiness, which can lead to increases in employee engagement and your bottom line.
Dr. Wendy has spoken to thousands nationally and globally and given talks at universities including UC Berkeley, UCLA, the University of New South Wales in Australia, and Israel's Technion Institute of Technology.
Her approach has been described as "fresh," "insightful," "exciting," and "intriguing," as well as "...a strong, insightful offering from an ambitious young academic...Highly recommended," by Ali Neshati of Reader Views, and hailed as "...[offering] an important conclusion about the way in which acceptance and love are basic and fundamental issues in relation to socialization," by the Journal of Analytical Psychology, "...very informative..." by Vianna Renaud of TCM Reviews, and "...a highly intriguing and entertaining read, sure to give both psychology students and non-specialist general readers much to think about," by James Cox, Editor-in-Chief of The Midwest Book Review.
II. HEALTHCARE
HEALTHCARE BIO: SCIENCE & SPIRIT, HAPPINESS & PSYCHOLOGY, WELLNESS, DEPRESSION, CANCER
Dr. Treynor is a depression survivor-turned happiness expert who formerly wanted to end her own life, wished for cancer as an "easy exit route," and whose wish was granted, emancipating her to live one woman's journey from depression to happiness as detailed in her "Gift of Cancer" book and talk: "A Treasure Map to Happiness®!"
Her deep understanding allowed her to escape depression without psychotherapy, anti-depressants, or shock therapy, as evidenced by her own life-turnaround healing from cancer and depression, where she applied what she knew scientifically to her own life.
Her story has been scientifically proven to increase happiness when read and "love of life" when heard. Moreover, her story was voted unanimously to be helpful for people overcoming depression and received average quanititative evaluations from audience members of 4.90 or higher (on scale of 1.0 to 5.0) across all 12 dimensions studied.
Dr. Treynor's heartfelt wish is that all people and cancer survivors will ultimately "cure their own depression" by hearing her story, as cancer survivors without depression live twice as long.
Lastly, Dr. Wendy Treynor is not just an inspirational speaker but also scholar. Her 2003 depression article (with colleagues Richard Gonzalez and the belated Susan Nolen-Hoeksema from Yale) has over 5,
000 citations in GoogleScholar.
With Dr. Wendy Treynor as your speaker, you receive a rare mix of story and scholarship, entertainment and expertise, knowledge and wisdom, science and spirit, mind and heart, leaving your group with a fresh perspective on life as well as love for it!
