Are you worried about the impact of AI on your workforce and on your wellbeing and mental health? Join Rachel Wells and guest Susan David, a leading psychologist, as they dive into the critical human skills needed for 2030 and beyond.

* Building psychological safety in the workplace.

* Moving beyond basic EQ into Emotional Agility to manage ambiguity.
