America and the rest of the world are facing unprecedented challenges: deepening political division, vast economic pressures, and staggering technological change as AI and automation reshape industries at a dizzying pace. These forces are straining our institutions, workplaces, and communities.
Yet resilience emerges as the key to navigating these turbulent times. More than mere adaptation, resilience means developing the mindset and skills to thrive amid uncertainty. As the World Economic Forum notes, while technical skills like AI proficiency are essential, the most vital capabilities are resilience, agility, and creative thinking.
In this Keynote, Professor Elizabeth "Beta" Mannix from the Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management will discuss the ways in which meaningful achievements — whether in business, family, or personal growth — inherently involve challenge. You’ll discover how resilient individuals embrace this reality, making courageous choices and learning from adversity.
By prioritizing meaning over comfort, leaders can help teams stay engaged and motivated despite uncertainty. We can't eliminate stress, but we can transform our relationship with it.
