Media magnate Arianna Huffington has announced she will be stepping away from her publishing baby The Huffington Post to focus on her new wellbeing development. Co-founding the website in 2005, Huffington’s passion has seen the news outlet go from strength to strength (and country to country) but now she has set her sights elsewhere.
In a memo to staff, Huffington announced she would be leaving her role as editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post to focus on new business Thrive Global. She says: “This has been a very difficult decision, but in many ways an inevitable one, given my commitment to building Thrive into a company that has a global impact on how we work and live. Building something from scratch doesn't become easier or less challenging just because you've done it before. There is only one way to do it: with your full attention and all your heart.”
There is little known of what audiences can expect from Thrive Global. The official statement for the business reveals: “Thrive Global is a corporate and consumer wellbeing and productivity platform. It provides trainings, seminars, e-courses, coaching, and ongoing support based on the latest scientific findings from experts in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, productivity, sports, and sleep. Thrive Global's approach is extremely practical and based on the principle of micro-steps so that people can more easily go from knowing what's best for them to actually doing it."
