Optimizing Human Performance Through Technology

Ticking through the many ways smart technology will improve our lives in years to come, Dr. Crum paints a picture of a future society where companies better understand how customers experience their individual worlds to provide them with products that match their specific needs, where doctors more quickly diagnose and treat patients, where our brains evolve to see at the same resolution as computers, and where the human capacity for knowledge is expanded exponentially. An optimistic and inspiring overview of a technology-enabled future where human capacity and performance is turbo-charged, as well as the ways organizations can embrace this change now, Dr. Crum argues that technology will not replace human interactions and experiences—but rather make them better than we could ever imagine.

The Importance of Compassionate Leadership: A Captain’s Perspective

Christie was known to “lead by example” during her tenure as the Captain of the US Women’s National Soccer Team, taking the team to multiple world championships. She wasn’t the loudest person in the room or on the field, and she wasn’t screaming all the time; she was the person that other players turned to, leading with steadiness and grace, mixed with a whole lot of determination, passion and effective communication. In this inspiring session, Christie discusses the importance of compassionate leadership, finding the right roles on a team, and how each person contributes to the common goal, be it a starter or someone coming off the bench.
