Success At What Cost? | Golbie Kamarei | TEDxSouthLakeTahoe

Well being and success are not mutually exclusive, and yet so many people sacrifice their health, relationships, and authenticity in the pursuit of success. Leveraging her experience founding BlackRock’s Global Meditation Program and consulting to senior executives, Golbie shares stories of people who work hard to succeed in high performance environments and of the challenges they face. She encourages us to think of well being as a path to greater, more sustainable success rather than as a prize to be earned after suffering enough. Golbie’s mission is to help multinational organizations and their employees reach higher levels of performance and purpose through the systematic integration of personal development and wellbeing practices. During her eight-year tenure at BlackRock ($5.7 trillion in assets under management), Golbie held several roles in both investment and organizational development capacities including Founding Member, Knowledge Strategist, and Business Manager of the BlackRock Investment Institute. She also held leadership roles in several global human capital initiatives such as the Investment Excellence Program and the Investment Research Development Program and served as Vice Chair for BlackRock's Women's Initiative and BlackRock's People and Culture Committee in the NY headquarters. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
