The Future of Work
Coping better with change
We are getting busier and busier, and we are handling it worse and worse. This can be done smarter. Hidde de Vries gives you practical tips and techniques to work (together) smarter.
In his keynote, Hidde de Vries will take you through the data and challenges that threaten our prosperity and well-being. The glut of choices, acceleration of technology, we are becoming more individualistic and different generations are drifting apart more than ever before. As a result, we are outgrowing ourselves and burning out en masse.
Using inspiring and sometimes poignant stories, neuroscience, research and practical tips and techniques, Hidde will let you experience how to work and live smarter.
In consultation, his keynotes can be tailored to your company and theme.
