KPMG International launches its new podcast series Global Perspectives today — 08 August 2022 — with an inaugural interview with author and businesswoman Arianna Huffington who makes a powerful case for why global leaders must tackle burnout culture and focus on the connection between well-being and performance.
The series focuses on the issues that are keeping CEOs up at night — supply chain disruption, economic and geopolitical uncertainty, and climate crisis — and offers leading insight and opinion.
Global executives will help uncover the secrets of some of the most successful businesses and spotlight how CEOs are overcoming these obstacles and thriving in today’s competitive market.
In this first episode, the founder and CEO of Thrive Global and co-founder of The Huffington Post talks about how CEOs must steer businesses in taking well-being seriously. Arianna discusses her collapse from sleep deprivation and exhaustion in 2007, and the actions that leaders can take today to manage work-life integration. Since founding Thrive Global – a leading behavior change technology company enabling individuals and organizations to improve wellbeing, performance and mental resilience – Arianna has worked with leading scientists and experts to debunk the myth that burnout is the price we have to pay for success.
