From the course: Thriving @ Work: Leveraging the Connection between Well-Being and Productivity

Welcome

- We are at this inflection point in history when the accelerated pace of technology has meant that we feel less and less in control of our lives, more and more overwhelmed, and stress and burnout have truly become global epidemics affecting our health, our happiness, and our performance. It happened to me when I collapsed from exhaustion, sleep deprivation, burnout, ten years ago, broke my cheekbone, and that started my own journey into understanding how dangerous that delusion, that we have to be always on in order to succeed truly is, so in order to launch Thrive Global, I needed a Director of Trainings, and I was incredibly blessed to have met Joey Hubbard, and that I just loved the combination that he's of a great intellect, and an amazing open heart so that he can really communicate these messages with a deep caring as well as a deep scientific understanding of the topics, and I'm just absolutely thrilled that he's my partner on this Thrive Global journey.
