Digital Transformation: It Changes Everything, Even Your Mind
Dr. Navya Singh
Founder, Chief Clinical and Operations Officer
wayForward
Digital transformation has brought sweeping changes to every facet of the organization, improving customer service, marketing, operational agility, talent acquisition, and benefits delivery. One area that hasn't been dramatically changed via digitization is behavioral health and emotional wellness, as providers have barely scratched the surface in leveraging technology to effectively scale their expertise, and improve both engagement and outcomes (lower stress, depression, better sleep, more productivity, etc.). Says Dr. Singh: "Digitizing mental and behavioral health enables practitioners to better serve more people by reaching them where they 'live' -- on their mobile devices. But it's not enough to digitize existing processes - real transformation is about tailoring technology to the way mental and behavioral professionals work and engage, enabling them to more efficiently and effectively support more people."
Developed by a team of leading researchers, clinicians and behavioral health experts, the wayForward platform is based on the science of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), which helps modify the underlying negative thought patterns that are linked to negative behaviors and feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, into more adaptive and positive thoughts and behavior. Beyond the workplace benefits, there are broader societal stakes in transforming behavioral health service delivery with stress, depression and opioid abuse all at alarming levels.

Shattering the Glass Ceiling
Kate Delaney
Host
"The Kate Delaney Show"
"To 'deal your own destiny,' you must believe in yourself on a grand scale, but you also need to have the discipline to learn, to do and to strive. If you truly want to deal your own destiny and become extraordinary, then you have to go all in."
Delaney is an Emmy award-winning journalist, top business and motivational speaker, and a host for NBC Sports Radio Network. She is one of the first women to ever host a solo sports radio talk show in a Top 10 market -- WFAN in New York City and KRLD in Dallas, Texas. Delaney has also broadcasted from all over the world. She is currently the host of two nationally syndicated radio shows each week: "The Kate Delaney Show," which is featured on NBC's Sports Radio Network; and a weekly feature with ForbesBooks, which showcases movers and shakers in the business world. Her new book, "Deal Your Own Destiny: Increase Your Odds, Win Big and Become Extraordinary," is published with ForbesBooks, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes Media. In the book, Delaney recounts her journey and makes it clear to readers that with tenacity, belief and sheer determination, one can stack the cards in their favor.

How to Stop Millennials From Killing Your Company's Workplace
Warren Wright
Founder & CEO
Second Wave Learning
Millennials are killing homeownership, napkins, and American cheese. And they're a nightmare to manage, assuming they stay around for more than a year. An Entrepreneur article reports that "…between the ages of 18 and 28, millennials held an average of 7.2 jobs." As an employer, how can you prevent them from killing your workplace? Wright, founder and CEO of Second Wave Learning, invites you to throw out all your Boomer and GenXer-filled misconceptions, and re-think Millennials as an asset, not a liability. In fact, he recently published "Second-Wave Millennials: Tapping the Potential of America's Youth" (December 2018), to help leaders understand how to attract and keep the best working Millennials. Says Wright: "Ping-pong tables and latte machines are nice, but not necessary. What's really required is upping the management game to create a positive, team-oriented, development-focused culture. And a strong digital presence does not hurt."
Wright is available to discuss: the five core requirements to managing Millennials to peak performance; four lifestyle themes that make up the core of a Millennial's identity; and the five irreversible errors that will assure Millennial turnover.

New Year: 6 Keys to Making Money Resolutions Stick
Pamela Yellen
President
Bank On Yourself
"1) Understand that real, permanent change is usually driven by your own desire, rather than outside pressure. 2) Enlist allies to help you stay on track. An ally – whether a professional for hire, a friend, or other mentor – can help you reinforce your commitment. 3) Set incentives and consequences. When you make your commitment binding, you increase your chances of success. Plus, it's fun to reward yourself when you reach a goal! 4) Don't set yourself up for failure by insisting on an all-or-nothing change. This is one of the main reasons people fail at keeping New Year's resolutions or achieving other goals. Don't fall victim to the voice in your head that says 'You blew it.' 5) Remind yourself of your goals. Sometimes all it takes to stay on track is to pause and consider whether what you about to buy is more important than your goal. One of my favorite ways to do this is to wrap my charge cards in a picture or a few words describing my goals. Every time I take out a credit card, I'm reminded of why I am saving. 6) Skip the pity party when you fall short. Most successful New Year's goal-setters faltered for five consecutive years or even more before they ever succeeded. Those who rebound the fastest are the ones who set aside emotional thinking and formulate a plan to get back on track."
Yellen is a financial investigator and the author of two New York Times best-selling books, including her latest, "The Bank on Yourself Revolution: Fire Your Banker, Bypass Wall Street, and Take Control of Your Own Financial Future." Yellen investigated more than 450 financial strategies seeking an alternative to the risk and volatility of stocks and other investments, which led her to a time-tested, predictable method of growing wealth now used by more than 500,000 Americans.
