Welcome to orchid Wellbeing

Sometimes, we are vibrant, blooming and on top of the world. Other times, we are struggling and wondering if we’ll ever bloom again. Wherever you are, you've got this. 

Welcome to Orchid Wellbeing!  I am Emily Landgraf, the founder and I am so excited you are here.  Congratulations on taking this step and having some curiosity about what change might look like.  That's a huge first step.

I started Orchid because of my career and life journey.  There isn't a problem I haven't tried to reason, strategize and project manage my way through. As a mathematician, I love nothing more than when the steps are clear and the numbers add up. I rest comfortably in the belief that everything should make sense and logic will prevail. 

And then, there is reality.  Most of the time, I am not sure exactly what the problem is, what I need, what I want or how I feel.  I get frustrated and struggle with solving problems that I can’t even identify. How am I supposed to communicate with my partner if I don’t know what I want?  How am I supposed to lead the project if I don’t know what we are supposed to deliver?  How am I supposed to “succeed” if I don’t know what that means?  

On my journey, I’ve learned(and continue learning) to be comfortable with the uncertainty and unknowns. These days, rather than hoping the math will work out and wanting things to make sense, I rest easily in knowing that each day I get to make choices that shape my experiences. I rest easily knowing that I have the tools I need to be whoever I choose to be.  I rest easily knowing I get to decide how I want to show up, what is most important to me(in general or at the moment) and where I want to go.  

I don’t always get it right.  But I always have the opportunity to do next best thing.  That’s all I can ask of myself.  That’s all I ask of you.  

I’ve spent more than two decades in Corporate America navigating the career ladder and gathering life experiences including spending 2 years working abroad on an international assignment in Stockholm Sweden. 

I have a BA in Mathematics from Colgate University and an MBA in Marketing, Strategy and Leadership and Change Management from NYU Stern School of Business. I am a certified Project Management Professional and Six Sigma Green Belt. I am a certified energy and career coach.

I’m also an endurance athlete and have completed 6 marathons as well as a half-ironman.
