In “Learning from 2020, Leading for the Future,” Dunivan will sit down with Grant to consider what HR leaders can take away from 2020 and how these lessons can help inform success in 2021. Dunivan and Grant will talk through what it takes to encourage and motivate employees, teams, and coworkers during and after a crisis, tips for remote communication, and how to lead through change. Fifty randomly selected attendees will also receive a pre-ordered copy of Grant’s newest book, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know.

Dunivan commented, “Giving is one of our core values at Namely, and knowing that 2020 proved disruptive and challenging for so many, we’re taking time this month to give back and look forward. These two events embody that line of thinking, with Lourds Lane sharing her experience as both a musician and a philanthropist, and Adam Grant, offering insights and inspiration to start 2021 in a positive headspace.”
