How to be a better person

In the previous session, we looked at what it takes to build a dream team. In this final session, we’ll dive into expert advice on ways you can become the best version of yourself, in the workplace and in life.

Self-improvement looks different for everyone. For some, it’s about setting and achieving big goals. For others, it’s about learning and leading with awareness and intentional choice, even amid the most challenging circumstances, as discussed in the book Deliberate Calm by McKinsey veterans Jacqueline Brassey, Aaron De Smet, and Michiel Kruyt.

No matter what your journey looks like, you can’t get there until you get to know yourself on a deeper level. Explore these key takeways from from our Author Talks series of interviews to nurture your personal growth and learn a thing or two about the person reading this.
