Paul Napper, PhD: The Power of Agency

The fast pace of today’s world is creating a silent epidemic that’s impacting our physical and emotional well-being. According to Dr. Paul Napper, our accelerated lifestyles, always-on technology, and ever-increasing job demands have created a tsunami of overwhelm and anxiety. Dr. Napper warns that we’ve lost our agency, which is the ability to deal with stress and act as an effective agent for ourselves. Dr. Napper leads a management psychology practice. He has held an advanced fellowship during a three-year academic appointment at Harvard Medical School and is the co-author of the book The Power of Agency: The 7 Principles to Conquer Obstacles, Make Effective Decisions, and Create a Life on Your Own Terms.

Rachel Hollis: Didn't See That Coming

No one wants to experience the down side of life, but as sure as the sun rises each day, we will. We will lose a loved one, a child will move out, a job may be lost, and a breakup may occur. And when that happens, we have the opportunity to either let it defeat and define us, or transform and lift us. Rachel Hollis has experienced fear, grief, loss and betrayal. She talks about how to embrace the difficult moments of life. Rachel’s work has focused on changing the way women approach their fears. She teaches how take on insecurities and turn them into empowering forces. With her #1 New York Times bestsellers Girl, Wash Your Face and Girl, Stop Apologizing, she shared her most personal stories and turned them into teachable moments for her readers. Her newest book is, Didn’t See That Coming.
