Who Gets To Build The Future? Thriving In The Age Of Intelligent Jobs
AI is changing the way we work, and two questions matter most: How do we keep up, and what is the pace of change costing us? There are skills worth developing and parts of your well-being worth prioritizing. Join Bristol Myers Squibb's Courtney Nash and Jamaal Sebastian-Barnes for an honest conversation about future-ready skills, well-being, and what it takes to thrive through transformation rather than just survive it. No slides. Just real talk with the room, and a guide worth keeping.
