Overview

More than half of Americans say job insecurity is crushing them with stress. So how do some people look like they’ve always had it figured out? Spoiler: they haven’t. 

Host Elizabeth Weingarten traveled to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to pull aside C-Suite leaders, entrepreneurs, and founders from companies like BetterUp, Zoom, Bain & Company, and more to talk about the moments when work inexplicably shifts—the layoffs, the pivots, the feeling of being completely stuck.

From Dr. Becky Kennedy discovering that admitting “I don’t know” was actually the path to knowing herself, to Ray Wang’s father asking him “what are you worth?” before he started his own company, to Josh Kallmer’s “happiness matrix” that pulled him out of his darkest professional period, these leaders show that navigating uncertainty is what makes great leaders.
