In this week’s round up, we reflect on just how connected our individual health is to the worldwide community. We consider how living a purpose-driven life can impact individual and global wellbeing after a year that saw the ground shift beneath the entire world’s feet. How do our values impact our health? How can we cultivate a happier, healthier world? 

Take a look as we tune into the global conversation on purpose. 

• How including more women in the C-Suite transforms how businesses think and encourages innovation. 
• How business rivals are working together towards sustainable futures by collaborating on the climate crisis. 
• Why purpose is so important in driving value in business, and four steps to measuring the power of purpose at work. 
• These start-ups and companies are developing products that address women’s health care needs and address the gender inequality in medical care for women. 
• Why businesses need to help their employees discover their purpose or risk losing their talent to other, more purposeful, organisations. 
• Take a look at how technology is making its mark in the climate movement with these five exciting innovations. 
• How has the pandemic redefined our idea of professionalism?
• MIT scientists have developed clothing that can track and improve its wearer’s posture and even monitor when people have fallen or injured themselves. 
• Are carbon labels the next step in increasingly sustainable products? 

And finally, some words to reflect on:

“The primary ingredient for progress is optimism. The unwavering belief that something can be better is what drives the human race forwards.”
