Jessica Morgenthal

Jessica Morgenthal is the founder and director of Resilience Gone Wild, an award-winning movement translating nature’s strategic wisdom into practical tools for human and organizational flourishing. Her work centers on the Win-Win-Win Mindset: the belief that all adaptations and decisions should be net positive for the long-term thriving of the individual, the community, and the ecosystem. Her Resilience Gone Wild podcast was honored as the 2024 DiscoverPods Podcast of the Year and Best Science Podcast. As a strategist, coach, and author of "The Wild Wisdom of Sleep" in How We Flourish, Jessica bridges resilience building, positive psychology, and systems thinking. By translating nature's adaptations—like the coffee plant’s caffeine nudge for pollinators or the parrotfish’s protective sleep bubble—into her Motivation by Design framework, she reconciles the internal and external reward systems required for high-level execution. This methodology provides a practical path for turning our best intentions into impactful actions. Jessica's expertise is backed by an MBA from the University of Chicago, a Master’s from Harvard, and certifications in positive psychology, resilience training, and coaching. Her passion for learning inspires her to explore the natural world firsthand. Adventures like observing giant tortoises in the Galápagos forging net-positive pathways, orangutan mothers in Borneo teaching their young, and sea turtles nesting on her Florida beach all feed her curiosity about living models of resilience. Overall, Jessica's work is driven by a singular mission: to help us better care for ourselves, each other, and the wild world we all share.
