Keynote
Alex Howland, Ph.D understands the four common workplace challenges that leaders today are facing, and will give you the tools to help overcome them and recreate the office watercooler for your team.
Without the breaks and social interactions that used to take place in hallways, during lunch, or casually around the office “watercooler,” we’re seeing remote workforces struggle with employee morale, productivity, and creativity.
