Seven minute talk about the Superpower of the Future, Figuroutability. In a workforce and world moving toward AI and automation, agility and adaptability are the natural skills Gen Z possess and it incumbent upon all of us to embody those as the rate of change in business has doubled in 12 months.

Smarter in Seven: The Culture-Shifting Power of Corporate Philanthropy
What happens when giving becomes part of the company DNA—not just a press release?
In this Smarter in Seven talk, two powerhouse leaders from Philanthropy New York unpack how philanthropy does more than support communities—it transforms teams, fuels engagement, and rewires what success looks like from the inside out.

Dispelling the Myths About Hybrid Work:
Hybrid/virtual work is here to stay. There are tools and tricks that can enhance team connection even while virtual and it not about who does or does not have their camera on.

In this informative workshop, attendees will leave with a host of practical tools for improving productivity, decreasing stress and maximizing their daily and weekly routines.
