About the talk

We all struggle to avoid overthinking in our work and our personal lives from time to time—but after a year of crisis and uncertainty, negative self-talk is on the rise like never before. Award-winning psychologist and author of the instant national bestseller Chatter, Ethan Kross studies how the conversations we have with ourselves shape our lives in surprising ways, from our health and our job performance to our relationships and decision-making.

Join us for this fireside chat hosted by Dave Mayer, where Kross will share his cutting-edge research and real-world case studies to help you harness the power of your inner voice. He’ll reveal how you can improve productivity and wellbeing in your own life, as well as help you become a wiser leader to others.
