Thriving: The Breakthrough Movement
19. Enabling Environments for Peak Performance in Work and Life, with Eddy Annys
Show Notes

My guest this week is Eddy Annys, who is Managing Director of Randstad Belgium and a former Olympic athlete. Listen to Eddy talk about: 

  • His experience as a world class high jumper, and how peak performance by world class athletes is only possible by having an enabling system
  • Why ensuring that everyone has an opportunity for meaningful work remains a challenge – even in times and places of economic prosperity
  • How we need to challenge historical stereotypes of difference – such as gender and ethnicity – that stand in the way of diversity and inclusion
  • Why resilience has become a key competence as the world gets more fast-paced and complex – and how this links to the Good Work Goals
  • How cobots (collaborative human-robot interfaces) are a new, hopeful trend – and why job automation is not necessarily to be feared
