This moment is asking so much of us.
We must lead in the midst of uncertainty and evolve to keep pace with our changing world, all while managing our busy lives as professionals, colleagues, and caregivers. We often wish we had a life raft to help us stay afloat (and on our worst days, even a piece of driftwood would suffice.)
Join world-renowned psychologist Susan David, Ph.D. for an innovative learning experience:
Emotional Agility for Wellbeing at Work
For too long, the essence of what makes us human—our empathy, our values, and our emotions—have been dismissed as “soft skills.” Yet, these capacities drive everything: wellbeing, culture, engagement, leadership, innovation, and so much more.
Developed by Susan David, Ph.D., emotional agility is a set of essential, psychological skills for our complex, changing world.
Learn how to show up for yourself and others at work and beyond, sustain positive change, and foster a deep sense of wellbeing through this differentiated, whole-person approach.
Because human skills aren’t “soft.”
They drive everything.
They are learnable. Practical. Powerful.
A Note From Susan
Sawubona. I see you.
In South Africa, where I come from, "sawubona" is the Zulu word for "hello." There's a beautiful and powerful intention behind the word because "sawubona," literally translated, means, "I see you, and by seeing you, I bring you into being."
At its core, emotional agility is about the capacity to see ourselves and others in a wholehearted and healthy way. It's a set of essential psychological skills for our complex world—a world that often chooses not to see. It is more than just a skill set I teach, it's what I try to live by, and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to share it with you through Emotional Agility for Wellbeing at Work.
In curiosity, compassion, and courage.
Susan David, Ph.D. is a leading management thinker and award-winning Harvard Medical School psychologist. Her TED Talk on the topic of emotional agility has been seen by more than 11 million people. Her #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling book, Emotional Agility—based on the original concept heralded by Harvard Business Review as a “Management Idea of the Year” and awarded the Thinkers50 Breakthrough Idea Award—describes the psychological skills critical to thriving in times of complexity and change.
