May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and it’s a good reminder to check-in with ourselves and think about how we can better protect our #wellbeing. Balancing the stresses of work and life is not easy. I’ve had my own share of struggles in finding that balance. So how can we build better routines for ourselves and find ways to recharge our energy? That was one of the topics I discussed with Arianna Huffington on the latest episode of #Pivotal, which is out today. Among her many achievements, Arianna is the founder and current CEO of Thrive Global, a behavioral change technology company with a mission to improve productivity and healthy outcomes for workers around the world. Her passion for this began when she had her own, harrowing experience with burnout, and Thrive came out of what she learned about how to manage her own stress. For years, Arianna and I have been discussing how technology can help us protect our wellbeing. In this episode, we share how the Thrive platform guides workers towards healthier behaviors, with science-based micro-steps that can make a big difference in getting us to eat better, sleep better, move better, manage stress, and grow our connection with others. We also dive into how #AI has the potential to make this experience even more frictionless. Can you imagine having an AI-powered personal coach who knows your preferences, understands your work habits, and serves up activities and small behavioral changes at the right moments in your day? Arianna’s team is currently building that AI coach, and her vision gives us a vivid example of how AI can help refocus our professional and personal lives towards what matters the most to us…and ultimately help us be more human. This is a conversation that I enjoyed immensely — and I hope you enjoy it too!

This #EarthDay, I’m taking a moment to reflect on all the incredible sustainability progress over the last year and celebrate the people behind it. Addressing climate change requires action from each and every one of us. As I talk to employees, customers, partners, innovators, and policy makers, I see progress everywhere. From better measuring and monitoring ecosystems with AI to protect biodiversity, to advancing green software that reduces energy consumption, to developing tools that help advance green skills for workers around the world. Every day, people are finding ways to think bigger, move faster, and take action to protect the future of our planet. But our work is not done. To avoid the most severe impacts of climate change, we need to work together to build new solutions, advance markets, and accelerate policies that will help provide greater impact at scale. We have a steep hill to climb, but I remain optimistic. I’m optimistic because... (1) ...so many are putting their unique skills to work, creating even more opportunities to combat climate change across policy, finance, technology, and more. (2) ...progress is happening and people are working to reimagine action in some remarkable ways! Join me in learning more about how people are reimaging action at Microsoft and beyond. https://lnkd.in/gAUwuh9u. You might even discover new reasons to be "optimistic because..."
