Sherry Walling - Grief, Joy & Presence: Leadership Superpowers You Didn't Know That You Needed (Turing Fest 2022)

Mental health is top of mind for many leaders. The upheaval of the pandemic, worldwide economic stability, and the changing nature of work have required leaders to move into the emotional big leagues. Many technology leaders are now fluent in conversations about burnout, zoom fatigue, and psychological safety, and have a clear understanding of how mental wellness contributes to the bottom-line success of their team. In this talk, Dr. Sherry Walling will help leaders and individual contributors take a step deeper. Emotionally literate leadership gets particularly tricky, and is extremely important, at the edges of the emotion spectrum: grief and joy. Dr. Sherry will walk you through the importance of these emotional states and give you practical tools to help you be present and engaged in the full range of human experiences.
