Join us for an energizing 90-minute session designed to enhance your wellbeing and sharpen your leadership edge. We'll start with a 20-minute mental health workshop led by certified health coach and F.I. Austria co-director, Jacqueline Kressner. This will be followed by a candid 60-minute interview with Steven Desmyter, President of Man Group, where he'll share his top global leadership strategies for sustaining mental wellbeing and discuss what it really takes to lead in the high-stress financial industry.
