In Honor of MDA's 40th Anniversary Celebration

Future-Fit Leadership for a New World featuring Kelly McGonigal

Date: Wednesday, November 10, 2021 
Time: 12:00pm - 1:00pm CDT
Event Type: Complimentary Webinar

As the pandemic approaches two years, leaders are feeling exhausted—and we know more uncertainty and further disruptions await. In a future of elevated intensity, we need more leadership wisdom to reach our potential as powerful culture shapers.

Let’s explore the leader’s role as we recover from the pandemic, re-enter society, and reboard into the world of work. As we contend with the “Great Resignation,” we are seeing a greater focus on agility, diversity, inclusiveness, authenticity, and human connection. It’s can’t be “business as usual” as people are re-evaluating their careers and lives—and looking for more meaning and purpose.

In this webinar, you will hear from Dr. McGonigal, a health psychologist and lecturer at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business. As a pioneer in the field of “science-help,” her mission is to translate insights from psychology and neuroscience into practical strategies that support personal well-being and strengthen communities, both critical in today’s context.

Dr. McGonigal is the author of several books, including the international bestsellers, The Willpower Instinct and The Upside of Stress. Her TED talk on stress is one of the 20 most viewed TED talks of all time with over 23 million views. Dr. McGonigal has consulted for a wide range of organizations and industries to bring evidence-based strategies for well-being into the workplace.

Through her trademark blend of science and storytelling, Dr. McGonigal will:

• Explore the leader’s role as we recover from the pandemic, re-enter society, and reboard into the world of work
