Our Founder
Joyce Odidison, M.A., MCC, CTDP
Founder • Conflict Analyst • Resilience Pioneer
For over 28 years, Joyce has helped organizations and professionals navigate stress, conflict, and burnout. A severe burnout episode in 2015, where she collapsed mid-flight, became the turning point that led her to design a science-backed system to detect and prevent burnout before collapse.
From that work came the Well-being Intelligence System® (WIS®) and the WIS® Resilience Diagnostic, now used internationally.
Joyce has:
- Trained and certified coaches and wellness professionals since 2006
- Delivered an ICF-approved coach training certification
- Developed the Wellness Facilitator Certification and Relational Leadership programs
- Authored 7 books and founded the Global Workplace Wellness Summit
Her decades of training and certification experience now underpin the Certified Resilience Catalyst (CRC) pathway and the broader IWS ecosystem.
The Well-being Intelligence System® (WIS®)
The Well-being Intelligence System® (WIS®) is a holistic, science-based framework that helps individuals and organizations measure, understand, and build resilience across nine dimensions of well-being.
WIS® includes:
- Nine-Dimensional Wellness Assessment
- WIS® Resilience Diagnostic Platform
- Resilience Index (Rx) Profile
- 12 Well-being Competencies
- Resilience clinics, coaching tools, micro-practices, and learning modules
Delivered through the WIS® Resilience Platform, WIS® provides a clear, actionable pathway to:
- Emotional strength
- Burnout prevention
- Sustainable leadership and performance
It turns "wellness" into measurable, trackable, buildable resilience.
The Certified Resilience Catalyst (CRC) Program
The Certified Resilience Catalyst (CRC) Program is a professional training and certification pathway for:
- Leaders and executives
- HR and people leaders
- Coaches, consultants, and helping professionals
CRC equips you with tools, skills, and a diagnostic-guided system to support others through stress and emotional overload, without absorbing it yourself.
CRC is:
- Multi-dimensional
- Provides grounding in resilience science and data
- A non-clinical, WIS®-powered approach to supporting people before crisis
Most people on the edge of burnout don't need a diagnosis. They need direction, support, and tools to recover before it's too late.
CRC is the bridge between:
"I'm fine." and "I can't do this anymore."
"I'm fine." and "I can't do this anymore."
It fills a crucial gap for high-functioning teams and organizations that need trained resilience leaders, not just more wellness content.
Our Philosophy
We believe:
- Resilience is not a personality trait.
- Burnout is preventable with the right tools, data, and support.
- Well-being is multidimensional: emotional, physical, interpersonal, social, and spiritual.
- Leadership begins with self-resilience. You can't lead from an empty tank.
- Workplaces thrive when human capacity is protected and developed.
- People don't need to crash to change. They need timely, meaningful support.
At IWS, we don't wait for people to burn out. We train employees, and the leaders around them to build resilience before collapse.
