About

The scientist who studies energy — and teaches it from a trapeze

Dr. Edy Greenblatt earned her Ph.D. in the Joint Program in Organizational Behavior at Harvard University and Harvard Business School, where her breakthrough field research — embedded at Club Med — overturned the standard model of burnout: rest does not equal restoration, and what restores one person depletes another. That research became the award-winning book Restore Yourself: The Antidote for Professional Exhaustion and the Integrated Resilience™ method.

She has worked as a consultant with McKinsey & Company, served on the faculties of the Center for Creative Leadership, the Rotman School of Management (University of Toronto), USC Marshall's Center for Effective Organizations, and UCLA's Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance — a combination that explains her signature: rigorous organizational science, delivered through experiences people feel.

Named the #1 Global Resilience Coach by Thinkers50 and a founding honoree of Marshall Goldsmith's 100 Coaches, she is an ICF-certified executive coach (PCC), certified coach supervisor, and holder of the Advanced Goldsmith Stakeholder Centered Coaching certification. She is currently developing AI-supported resilience tools, including a real-time resilience app now in pilot.

Dr. Edy lives near Tel Aviv, works worldwide in English, and — more often than one might suspect — practices what she preaches: dancing, swimming, flying trapeze, and sleep.
