Online | [Ann Hiatt’s SXSW Talk] Transitioning from Post-Traumatic Stress to Post-Traumatic Growth

“The Coronavirus has thrown us all into a period of rapid reinvention where we need to reinvent ourselves, our companies and our business models quickly just to survive. As leaders you are having to pivot and make critical decisions all without an understanding of where the finish line might lie and when we will find a new-normal. I have worked directly for three of the most powerful tech CEOs of our lifetime at Amazon and Google and I have witnessed their actual paths to greatness – which were far less linear than they appear in retrospect. The common denominator between these powerhouse CEOs is that they, just like Olympic athletes, never stop training, learning, improving and pivoting. In this session I have broken down their formulas for resilience and pivoting in a way that increases your authority and respect while demonstrating humility and willingness to learn which are critical during these periods of ambiguity. In this session you will learn how to shift your mindset, hit reset and move forward into post-traumatic growth and stop feeling so lonely at the top. (This talk was originally created for SXSW 2020 before its cancellation and has been adapted to the current Coronavirus economic crisis.)
