Nina helps organizations unlock AI’s potential for productivity and human flourishing
Nina Hersher partners with global organizations to ensure the rise of artificial intelligence enhances, rather than erodes, individual ane team wellbeing. Through her pioneering work at the intersection of AI, digital wellness, and neuroscience, she helps leaders cultivate digital resilience and embed the principles of Digital Flourishing® into their culture. Her programs empower teams to use AI mindfully—boosting productivity, creativity, and collaboration while protecting the connection, purpose, and clarity that keep teams human.
Building AI-Ready and Resilient Cultures
AI can accelerate progress, but culture determines whether it uplifts or overwhelms. Nina helps organizations design human-centered strategies that integrate AI without sacrificing wellbeing. Teams learn to balance automation with authenticity, reduce cognitive overload, and sustain a shared sense of purpose in an evolving digital landscape.
Enhancing Cognitive and Emotional Resilience
AI tools can enhance performance only when humans are mentally and emotionally supported. Drawing on the science of digital resilience and her Digital Flourishing® model, Nina teaches teams to manage attention, maintain focus, and regulate energy in AI-driven environments—preventing burnout and fostering long-term engagement.
Humanizing Data and Decision-Making
Behind every algorithm are human choices and values. Nina guides leaders to apply ethical AI principles and digital empathy so technology serves human goals—not the other way around. Her approach builds trust, transparency, and shared understanding across all levels of an organization.
Cultivating Mindful Productivity and Connection
AI can handle the repetitive; humans excel at the reflective. Through the lens of Digital Flourishing®, Nina empowers teams to leverage AI to streamline workflows while deepening collaboration, creativity, and human connection. Participants leave with strategies to sustain clarity, focus, and belonging in a tech-driven world.
Future-Proofing Human Flourishing
As automation reshapes work, human flourishing must remain the measure of progress. Nina’s approach ensures organizations grow not just in efficiency but in meaning and vitality. Through intentional design, leaders can create workplaces where technology supports resilience, connection, and collective thriving.
Hi, I’m Nina
As a child who stuttered, I learned early that resilience begins with finding your voice. That journey led me to appear in Bill Withers’ documentary, and it ignited a lifelong passion for helping people connect, adapt, and flourish in a rapidly changing world.
Today, that same passion fuels my work at the intersection of human potential and technology. I co-founded Global Digital Wellness Day, reaching over 17 million people in 64 countries, co-created the validated Digital Flourishing® framework, and authored a bestselling book on thriving in the remote work era.
This work has been featured by the United States Surgeon General, the creators of the Emmy award-winning film The Social Dilemma, and countless Fortune 500 companies.
These accomplishments reflect a truth I have carried from the start: as AI transforms how we work, the real opportunity is to design systems that help us work smarter, sustain connection, and have more time for what makes us human.
