Jacques Martiquet on Communally-Defined Wellness

heartstorming healthcare

Jacques W. Martiquet is a corporate event strategist who helps human-centered workplaces design shared experiences that create a lasting difference in mental health, psychological safety, and belonging. Since 2017, Jacques has been earning his title as The Party Scientist by leading thousands of dance parties and shared experiences across 15 countries, and for companies like Accenture, LUSH, and Lululemon. Jacques is on a public health mission to transform how the west socializes. From alcohol and shows... to human connection and fun. Everything he does is informed by one belief: human connection is the elixir of life.

In this episode, we talk about:

:: how studying medicine turned him off from practicing medicine

:: how he maximizes positive social contact and emotional exchange in events

:: how shared experiences can inspire more sustained health behavior change

:: communal vs personalized medicine and why our current trajectory may not be optimal

:: suggestions for all of us to become facilitators of social connection in our own circles
