James Clear, #1 New York Times Best Selling Author of “Atomic Habits” to Keynote OPTIMA22, Third Annual Talent Optimization Conference, Returning Live in 2022

BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Predictive Index (PI), the leader in talent optimization, announced that the third annual talent optimization conference, OPTIMA 2022, will be back live and in-person April 12-14, 2022, at the Sheraton Boston Hotel. PI will also host a virtual show on April 26.

OPTIMA22 brings together more than 5,000 business leaders looking to reinvent the world of work—given the previous year’s workplace struggles with The Great Resignation, hybrid work, and burnout, among others—and empowers them with the tools and strategies to succeed.

James Clear, Author of “Atomic Habits,” Keynotes OPTIMA22

According to Clear, “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” James will share a framework for getting 1% better every day, enabling attendees to break bad habits and stick to good ones, by making small, easy changes that deliver big results.

Clear is a regular speaker at Fortune 500 companies. His work is also featured in Time magazine, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and on CBS This Morning. Atomic Habits sold over five million copies worldwide and is translated into 50+ languages.

“Putting the practices learned at OPTIMA into one’s business takes motivation, passion, and a system for change,” said CEO of The Predictive Index, Mike Zani. “But to truly reinvent the world of work means we need to form new systems—both personal habits and organizational systems—that focus on the kinds of people and organizations we want to become. Talent optimization is just one of those systems that enables us to create better work for a better world.”

In addition to learning from 40+ A-list speakers at OPTIMA22, attendees can also:

• Get Certified in Talent Optimization: Registrants can attend a half-day program on April 12 for hands-on, applied learning of talent optimization with the opportunity to be certified by the end of the day.
