Tuesday Keynote:

Moving Forward in the Flux Era: How to Lead with Confidence and Be More Influential

Tuesday, July 16
9:00 - 10:30 am

The pandemic and concurring economic and cultural shifts propelled workers and leaders into a new "Flux Era." This ongoing flux has created a stew of conflicting emotions—hope, fear, excitement, dispiritedness, relief, and tension.  Although human beings are more resilient than we generally appreciate, this psychological tilt-a-whirl has caused many of us to feel a loss of agency, leading us to make rash decisions. With her extensive background in cutting-edge behavioral science and research, social psychologist, NYT bestselling author, award-winning scholar, and lecturer Dr. Amy Cuddy will offer answers in this energizing presentation on how leaders can re-empower and reset employees so they can thrive in these tumultuous times. It starts with understanding how our own behaviors impact the levels of trustworthiness and strength we present to others. Dr. Cuddy will examine how leaders can prepare for high-stakes situations, perform at their best and empower others to do the same.

Social psychologist, NYT bestselling author, and award-winning Harvard lecturer, Dr. Amy Cuddy is an expert on the behavior science of power, presence, and prejudice.
