In this panel, we talk about softness—something that is all too often misunderstood. In fact, according to a recent survey conducted by NIVEA, 59% of people view "being soft" as a negative and 49% of people define the word "soft" as being "weak." But, despite these misconceptions, soft can be strong. 

This panel is sponsored by NIVEA as part of its #RethinkSoft campaign, which is actively trying to shed a light on the misperceptions that many people have of soft, challenging these negative perceptions, and celebrating its power, particularly in the workplace, and beyond—because softness connects us all.

Our panelists are here to share how softness has had a positive, long-lasting impact on their careers and personal lives.
