First expert-led online session August 29 focuses on resilience, and is open to all.

Chicago, IL – On July 25th, Dscoopers David Rosendahl of MindFire, Chris Minn of Infigo, Jessica DeCola of GPA, and Jon Bailey of Precision Proco, launched a grassroots initiative that focuses on mental health and wellness and on the heels of sustainability in the print industry. Inspired by the unscripted experiences shared by Jon Bailey at Dscoop EDGE Indy in March 2024, the four collectively saw an opportunity to discuss how personal and professional challenges manifest in a variety of ways, and how they can create a space that provides resources and connections in a healthy and meaningful way. With incredible participation in their opening session, and overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants, the new group, She*et for Brains, officially launched and we are thrilled to announce their first meeting, open to all, “She*t for Brains Strategy Session, Chapter 1—Resilience with Glenn Packiam.”

The intention of She*et for Brains is to provide a safe space for those interested in learning proven strategies for working toward wellness, resilience, leadership, work/life balance, stress and anxiety in the workplace, among other topics. The group has partnered with credentialed psychology and counseling experts and professional organizations that will provide knowledge and resources displayed in quarterly meetings via Zoom and on Dscoop’s community platform.

On August 29th, the group will host their first meeting welcoming Glenn Packiam, bestselling author and speaker who focuses on resilience in leadership and work-life balance. He will share his personal experience and insights on mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Packiam is an engaging and dynamic speaker who has captivated audiences around the world. His ability to connect with audiences, share practical insights, and inspire positive change has made him a sought-after speaker and one the group is sure will make an impact.

Strongly supported by Dscoop, the group plans to carry the momentum and efforts into a physical space at EDGE Long Beach in May 2025, with in person sessions, a wellness event, and a booth space hosting a “Wellness Oasis,” that will highlight and elevate interactions and collaborations. Peter Van Teesling, Executive Director for Dscoop says, “Within Dscoop, where personal well-being is as important as professional success, we appreciate meaningful connections where we can inspire each other. The strong sense of community will grow even more with this member-led initiative that empowers our members.”

Grounded in genuine connection and an understanding of the need for a community that embraces vulnerability and an openness to address otherwise stigmatized personal and professional challenges, She*t for Brains aims to cultivate an inclusive platform that digs deep into the corners of transformative collaboration. Rosendahl, Minn, DeCola, and Bailey collectively state, “While achieving corporate goals are important, we all agree that even if we can ‘reach the one,’ making a difference in the life of a single individual, this initiative will be worth it.”
