Keynote Session | The Future of Work: Challenging Current Systems and Creating Wonder in the Everyday

We need wonder. As a population, we are overwhelmed. Inundated by change, distracted by choice, polarized into ever reductive tribes, and struggling to reach equilibrium, we are living in a world of instant gratification, life hacks, and quick fixes. Wonder is the catalyst to build the social and emotional competencies we need to make us more open, more curious, more compassionate more human. In this engaging keynote, Monica will share the basics of wonder and how it can support improved organizational culture, leadership, diversity and inclusion, and teamwork. Using real world examples, and heaps of research, Monica will guide attendees through the myriad benefits of wonder at work and how to find and cultivate it. Covering topics like resiliency, empathy, ethics, trust, creativity, curiosity, and emotional intelligence, this keynote will provide attendees with practical takeaways to implement in their workplace immediately.
