Arianna Huffington Instagram – In a world filled with uncertainty, we all need moments to pause and reset.
This was one of the themes of my conversation with Walmart’s chief talent officer Lo Stomski on how to cultivate resilience. At the beautiful new Sam Walton Hall in Bentonville, Ark., we explored how resilience isn’t just about bouncing back — it’s about bouncing forward.
And we can only be resilient when we have the tools to navigate whatever challenge is in front of us. Thrive Reset is one of those tools, and one of my favorite moments was when Lo shared her own personal Reset, a 60-second glimpse of the people, places and moments that matter to her and a song that enlivened the whole room!
Following our conversation, Thrive Global’s chief training officer @joey.hubbard delivered a live training on how to build a resilience toolkit, with resilience-building Microsteps across the five foundational behaviors of food, movement, sleep, stress management, and connection. As Joey explained, we’ll be continuing to supply Walmart associates with Resets, Microsteps, and other nanolearnings on the Walmart Academy Reset & Resilience website — because resilience isn’t an endpoint, it’s an ongoing process. Associates also received copies of @Thrive’s free cookbook to make healthy and delicious budget-friendly recipes.
The day was made even more special with an opening by chief people officer @dcmorrishr who introduced Alice Walton. Alice has done groundbreaking work — literally and figuratively — to transform healthcare. Her love and passion for the community, for the heartland, for using nature and art and whole human health to improve people’s lives, has been truly inspiring. As she says, art and nature are major contributors to well-being. And @Walmart associates can just walk from the Home Office campus to the @crystalbridgesmuseum of American Art to reset and recharge. And a special thank you to @oliviaswalton, who has been a champion for women and maternal health, for joining us.
As well as a huge thank you to Group Director, Learning and Development, Eric Rowlee, who has been so instrumental in bringing these initiatives to life. | Posted on 15/Feb/2025 22:32:14
