Wharton People Analytics hosted the inaugural

on April 7, 2022.

The event brought together a slate of speakers that included
Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella talking with Adam Grant,
growth mindset pioneer Carol Dweck in conversation with Angela Duckworth,
and Organizational psychologist and Founder of APS Intelligence John Amaechi.

We discussed everything from burnout, to hybrid work, and the 4-day work week,
along with the great resignation, fair pay, and the surprising power of regrets.
