The Human Reset: When Life Happens at Work

Silvia Mwangi, Leadership and Career Development Coach, brings a deeply human perspective to PeopleFirst Summit ’25. In “The Human Reset: When Life Happens at Work,” Silvia shares her own journey navigating the collision of professional ambition, caregiving responsibilities and rigid workplace systems that weren’t built for real life. She highlights the stories of brilliant professionals she coaches every day — individuals who burn out not from lack of skill but from structures that don’t support them. This session is both a personal reflection and a call to action: to design work that accounts for the full spectrum of human experience. Silvia offers practical steps for leaders to create environments that are sustainable, humane and purposeful. Watch this on-demand talk to rethink what it truly means to put people first — not as a slogan but as a systemic reality.
