About the talk
Join New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Breheny Wallace and Ethan Kross for a timely conversation on mattering at work in the age of AI. As artificial intelligence reshapes our workplaces, Jennifer explores a vital question: how do we ensure people still feel valued, needed, and significant when machines can outperform us? Drawing on years of research and reporting for her forthcoming book Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose, Jennifer shows why mattering—feeling valued and having the opportunity to add value—is not a “soft” concept, but a fundamental human need and a strategic imperative for organizations navigating technological change. This session offers practical insights for building workplaces where technology amplifies—not replaces—human contribution, and where every employee feels empowered to create cultures of mattering for one another.
