Val Kinjerski, MSW, PhD, RSW is a leader and expert on the topic of Spirit at Work. Her passion for spirit at work builds on a long standing concern about stress and burnout in social work. Prior to making spirit at work her life’s work, Val worked in social service for 18 years in positions ranging from front-line to senior management so she appreciates the many challenges faced in social work today.
