Going from awareness to action: a conversation with Arianna Huffington
Arianna Huffington is the founder and CEO of Thrive Global, and the author of 15 books, including, most recently, Thrive and The Sleep Revolution. In 2016, she launched Thrive Global, a leading behavior change technology company with the mission of changing the way we work and live by ending the collective delusion that burnout is the price we must pay for success.
In this keynote session, Arianna offers her point of view on how companies can move beyond just talking about wellness in the workplace and action with strategies that engage employees. It’s time to offer your employees the tools that build mental resilience, de-stress in real-time, and increase productivity.
Unlocking the future of work
Arianna Huffington joins Greg Brown, President of Udemy Business, for a fireside chat about the current global work landscape. Arianna will share her perspective on how leaders can create the best experience for their employees. Is working from home working? How much of the Great Resignation is due to burnout that companies can work through with employees? What will the eventual return to the office look like and how can we thrive in a hybrid world?
Why power skills are the future
It’s time to reframe soft skills. Communication, leadership, strategy, and more aren’t just “soft,” they’re powerful. Join Udemy Chief Learning Officer, Melissa Daimler, and Global Industry Analyst and CEO of Josh Bersin Company, Josh Bersin, in a discussion on power skills, the top trend from the Udemy Business 2022 Workplace Learning Trends Report. They’ll discuss why soft skills have evolved into power skills and why they’re so important for the entire workforce, regardless of an employee’s role or function.
