Isabelle’s Insights series – #2

Over the course of June, WIIS Brussels President Isabelle François will share some key insights drawn from her experience leading WIIS Brussels during the COVID-19 pandemic. The crisis has highlighted some urgent leadership issues, but also provided opportunities to explore how to lead in new ways.

In this second video, Isabelle talks about work ethics, going beyond the idea that working hard is the only way to get ahead, and arguing that wellbeing and resilience should be at the core of our working lives.

Stay tuned for the next video on 15 June!
