With a compelling life story of emigrating from Russia with her family, teaching herself to speak English by watching “Who’s the Boss” on repeat and holding top positions at McKinsey, Microsoft and 5 startups by the time she was 37, Nataly is a fascinating, one-of-a-kind keynote and TEDx speaker.
After years of chasing a non-existent state of nirvana in the corporate world, Nataly was not only unfulfilled, she suffered a debilitating burnout that led her to find a new way. Today, as a best-selling author and the CEO of Happier, Nataly helps thousands of people cultivate their emotional fitness and elevated leadership skills through Happier @ Work training programs, virtual leadership programs, online courses, and books.

Leading Through Adversity: Practical emotional fitness skills to help you
struggle less and optimize your team’s capacity to thrive
To lead means to positively impact other people’s capacity to thrive, which is not possible unless you prioritize your own capacity to thrive. During times of extreme uncertainty and change, this poses an even greater challenge.
In this practical and inspiring session, Nataly Kogan shares her personal story of success and burnout as a leader, and gives straight talk to activate leaders to make emotional fitness their top priority, so they can struggle less and have more emotional and mental energy to bring to the work and people they lead. She incorporates convincing scientific research on the direct link between emotional fitness and resilience, performance, and the ability to lead through challenges.
Leaders walk away with tangible practices they can immediately use to strengthen their own emotional fitness and leadership skills, and practices and rituals for their teams, to help boost well-being, resilience, and performance.
