Topics

  • An evidence-based approach to maximizing the human margin, and creating conditions that help employees flourish. The science of what makes people leave, how to keep them and keep them well.

  • Four generations in the workforce can lead to lots of benefits-- and conflict. This myth-busting session explores what science does and does not say about how to harness the power of a multigenerational workforce, and what leaders can do about it.

  • This session explores the principles of job crafting so that employees are pursuing their highest and best use of time in ways that improve their engagement and your organization's performance.

  • The loneliness epidemic is getting worse, and yet we need a network of people to help us succeed in life and work. Using botany as a metaphor, this science-packed but lighthearted and interactive session explores what types of flowers we need in our network bouquet, how to get them, and which plants to avoid.

  • A solutions-focused approached to addressing burnout and creating an environment that supports well-being. This goes beyond individual wellness strategies to review how organizational design, processes, team dynamics and culture play a role.

  • We are drowning in data, but what does it mean? Based on an executive doctoral course, this fun and interactive simulation helps managers and leaders gain a basic working knowledge of how to interpret data, information, and research articles. Participants will walk away with a working understanding of how to interpret data, and how to know if somebody else is doing it wrong.
