Resilience - The Superpower for Changing Times

Why do businesses need to focus on building a resilient workforce in these rapidly and constantly changing times? Our world is changing at an unprecedented pace. Events and circumstances across the globe show us that this trend will continue, and certainty and stability will be ephemeral. In this environment, the one attribute which will help people survive through challenges and thrive in the everchanging world is resilience. Resilience and wellbeing are closely linked, whether it is how people function in their personal lives or at work. This session will bring focus on what makes for a resilient workforce and what businesses can do to help their people become more resilient.

Self Discovery, Resilience and Overall Wellbeing

In this session, Sagar will discuss practical insights and personal experiences that highlight the challenges and growth opportunities of adapting to new environments. Drawing from his experience of being alone in Sweden during the pandemic, he will share how embracing solitude can lead to clarity, self-reliance, and emotional resilience. Exploring the power of physical rituals—such as exercise or mindful movement—to clear mental clutter, spark creativity, and improve overall wellbeing. He will address how burnout often stems from working hard toward goals misaligned with one’s values. He will share his journey of creating a life aligned with his core values and how this has been empowering. His insights from endurance races, adventures, and personal challenges will illustrate how setting meaningful goals and pursuing purpose leads to greater resilience and fulfillment.

Panel Discussion: Building Resilience in Challenging Times

Why must organizations now offer a more fulfilling experience of work in a world of uncertainty? What is the impact of more meaningful and authentic relationships and interactions with colleagues and managers and opportunities to develop and grow both professionally and personally as members of a community with a shared identity and purpose? What is the link between how employees think about what they want and need from work and how they achieve their personal aspirations and collective social goals in the context of accelerating turbulence, uncertainty and social anxiety?
