About Tamara Lechner
Tamara Lechner loves spreading happiness. Her commitment to improving proactive wellbeing on a global scale has led to her involvement with world leaders in contextual wellbeing measurement and education.

She is passionate about using Positive Technology to help bridge mental health and future skills gaps. She has written for Deepak Chopra, Oprah, and Mindful magazine.
