Every generation wants to do meaningful and purposeful work.

Companies lose significant revenue due to turnover with their young talent because Gen Z have different priorities and expectations than past generations: pursuing work that's meaningful, impactful, and value-driven. Through a wellness-based approach, I help leaders develop recruiting and retention strategies, supported by a workplace culture that keeps their teams motivated and engaged.

Dr. Julie Lee is a Gen Z strategist, clinical psychologist, behavioral health advisor, and faculty who helps organizations create engaging work through generation inclusivity and mental health commitment. She helps Fortune 500 companies, technology start-ups, and higher education institutions to create climate that support Gen Z and emerging talent and workers of all generations.

With more than two decades of experience operating at the intersection between psychology, organizational culture, and education, Dr. Lee promotes engagement and wellness at work through strategic consultations, evidence-based learning, and training initiatives. Her approach to people, culture, and the workplace has been implemented by companies including UPromise, Dell (formerly EMC), Boston Scientific, Deutsche Bank, and Verizon.

As a psychologist and a higher education leader, Dr. Lee has held supervisor and instructional roles at Harvard University, Brown University, and New York University. In addition, she has provided educational consultations for Harvard Business School, Amherst College, and Boston University.

Dr. Lee holds a B.A. in Psychology from Wellesley College, an M.Ed. in Human Development and Psychology from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Suffolk University. She is an affiliate faculty of Center for Cross-Cultural Student Emotional Wellness at Massachusetts General Hospital and teaches leadership classes at New York University.
