#16 How to discover wisdom in hard times | Megan Mateer

As a teenager Megan Mateer experienced her first awakening, a
clinical depression that brought her closer to herself and
allowed her to see her relationships and the world through a
different lens. This experience awaked her interest in
psychology, but after discovering the strong research focus of
psychology at university, she decided to do an MBA in accounting
and start her career as a finance consultant at one of the big
five consulting firms. After a couple of years into she job she
realized that she wanted more creativity and spontaneity in her
life, therefore she implemented small habits and behavioral
changes. These small changes lead her to Amsterdam, where she
founded Empatiko, a company that aims to be a catalyst for human
connection in the workplace and therefore accompanies
organizations through a cultural transformation.
