Susan David, Ph.D., the award-winning Harvard Medical School psychologist and one of the world’s most influential management thinkers, is the visionary behind the concept of Emotional Agility. She offers audiences her unique expertise on cultivating more agile, healthy, resilient, and authentically happy people, families, workplaces, and communities. Harvard Business Review named Emotional Agility a Management Idea of the Year. She employs powerful, engaging storytelling, humor, and insight, to create a deep and authentic connection, so each person in the audience feels understood, inspired, and able to initiate real, pragmatic change. 

Dr. Susan David shows audiences how to develop the critical emotional agility habits that enable people to engage and bring their best selves to their work—and she helps leaders understand how to build a culture that helps teams flourish.
With unique expertise, powerful storytelling and a toolkit of actionable steps that help audiences transform behavior, she explains how we get “hooked”—by thoughts, emotions and stories that hinder our ability to thrive. She explains what it takes, instead, to be curious, courageous and values-committed, even in times of enormous challenge.
