Work’s most challenging issues take center stage
Remote work is here to stay. The Great Resignation continues. Burnout runs rampant and HR departments are spread thin. As a result, cultures are struggling, along with the innovation they ignite, resilience they instill, purpose they imbue, and too many of your people.
Companies around the world face the harsh reality that we may have passed the point of preserving what was and that the window to build culture anew is closing.
So: what are we to do? Let’s shine a light on how to make it better—for everyone.

Gary Vaynerchuk
VaynerX Chairman, VaynerMedia CEO, NYT Bestseller, and Jets fan
Serial entrepreneur, Gary Vaynerchuk wants us to drive business to the next level by getting in touch with our feelings. And if we’re not listening, we’re losing.
One of the leading global minds on what’s next in culture, relevance, the internet, and business, Gary Vee acutely recognizes trends and patterns to help others understand how these shifts impact human behavior. He’s a prolific investor, podcaster, and best-selling author, who also knows a thing or two about empathy. He’s employed a Chief Heart Officer at VaynerMedia for years in his quest to build “the best human empire in the history of time”, and his views on the value of internal culture and emotional intelligence are challenging leaders to rethink their corporate strategies.
When he’s not speaking about empathy, he’s practicing it as the Chairman of VaynerX, CEO of VaynerMedia and Creator & CEO of VeeFriends.
