With Special Guest:
Dr Fiona Kerr
Director & Founder of the Neurotech Institute
2021 has been a busy and challenging year for the world and for Victorians. Having started the year full of hope, commencing back at work in a new hybrid-working environment, to being locked down again – and again - for most of the year was unexpected and has left many people with a deep feelings of uncertainty. Living through two years of "unprecedented times" - a pandemic, bushfires, earthquakes and tornadoes - has understandably brewed exhaustion and anxiety in individuals and organisations.
Add to this, the UK and US are currently experience what is being referred to as the "The Great Resignation", which we are beginning to see patterns of here in Australia.
Looking forward to 2022, there is still more uncertainty, as we all start to adjust our work/life balance again, and that feeling and desire to end 2021 well is strong.
With everything that has and is still happening in 2021, how can we best reflect on our achievements, maintain workplaces that nurture psychological safety & trust, and support people through their anxieties so we can look forward to what 2022 will bring?
WIDI would like to invite you to join us for the final Fireside Chat for 2021, with WIDI's Director Micaela Cronin being joined by our incredible guest speaker, Dr Fiona Kerr. Dr Kerr is the Founder and Director of the NeuroTech Institute, and brings an extensive wealth of knowledge to this discussion through her background in cognitive neuroscience, complex systems engineering, anthropology and psychology, which has been developed over forty years, including almost thirty years in industry. This discussion will cover tools and evidence-based insights into how to move forward into the new year.
