Registration is Open for Uplift in San Francisco on April 15-16: Attendees will Hear From Agents of Change about Building Lasting Organizations in the Age of AI AUSTIN,TX - March 18, 2026 - BetterUp(R), the AI-powered human transformation company and inventor of virtual coaching, today announced its speaker lineup for Uplift, an immersive two-day summit where global enterprise leaders, leading researchers and cultural visionaries gather to exchange ideas, engage in debate and uncover new insights around AI readiness, leadership, talent retention, growth, and performance. This year's theme, "Agents of Change," spotlights the forward-thinking leaders that are transforming uncertainty into opportunity. In an era of acceleration and AI, bold leadership is the difference between reacting to change and driving it. Uplift will gather a community of change agents who are actively leading transformation. They will engage in rigorous debate, share experiences, and offer learnings to attendees and each other. Luminaries such as actress, philanthropist, and producer Kristen Bell; research professor, bestselling author Brené Brown; organizational psychologist, bestselling author Adam Grant; director of Disney, Pixar's Elemental, Pete Sohn; Baltimore Ravens running back, five-time Pro Bowler and NFL leader in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns Derrick Henry; and world-renowned football coach, sportscaster Nick Saban will take the stage alongside the world's leading voices on workforce performance and AI. "Uplift brings together the leaders who understand that transformation is now a core competency. In an era where AI is flattening technological advantages, human adaptability is the last true edge," said Alexi Robichaux, CEO and Co-founder of BetterUp, "We're honored to host the world's leading changemakers at a moment when bold, human-centered leadership has never mattered more." Attendees will convene for two days of insightful conversations, uncovering strategies to unlock human potential and drive lasting business impact. Additional speakers include Quinetta Roberson, IN-Q, Susan David, Eliza Filby, Dacher Keltner, as well as leaders from Unilever, Google, Lumen, Patagonia, Salesforce, Aon, Pfizer, MIT, Stanford, Oxford and other organizations.

At Pfizer, bold innovation isn't just happening in the lab. It's happening across the enterprise. From delivering life-saving breakthroughs at unprecedented speed to rearchitecting how the organization operates, Pfizer is setting a new standard for agility and impact. At the center of it all: a CEO and CHRO leading in true partnership. This conversation offers a rare inside look at one of the most powerful dynamics in the C-suite and a roadmap for driving innovation and impact at scale. Speakers include: * Dr. Albert Bourla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Pfizer Inc. * Payal Sahni, Chief People Experience Officer & Executive Vice President, Pfizer Inc. * Moderated by BetterUp CEO and Co-founder Alexi Robichaux * AI: The great equalizer or the great divider? - AI has the potential to democratize talent and accelerate performance, but only if leaders design for it thoughtfully.

Introducing the BetterUp MCP server: Connect coaching to your AI tools

Introducing the BetterUp MCP server: connect coaching to your AI tools. AI assistants are quickly becoming indispensable partners in the way BetterUp, Inc. live and work. But to unlock their full potential, they need secure, structured access to the specialized platforms BetterUp, Inc. use every day. That's why BetterUp, Inc. is excited to introduce the BetterUp MCP server - its production-ready implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that connects BetterUp's coaching platform directly into AI assistants like Claude. Today, the BetterUp MCP server works with Claude as the MCP client. BetterUp, Inc. plan to support additional MCP clients - including ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot - as those clients expand their MCP support. Because MCP clients implement the protocol differently, available tools and behaviors may vary by client. MCPs are rapidly becoming the standard way to bridge AI tools with external systems. While many companies are using MCPs to connect infrastructure or developer workflows, BetterUp is among the first to apply MCP to the domain of human growth and coaching. This makes it easier than ever for leaders and employees to integrate personal development into their daily flow of work. What is the BetterUp MCP server? The MCP is an emerging standard that allows AI models to interact with external systems in a secure, structured way. The BetterUp MCP server connects your BetterUp account with supported AI clients (currently: Claude; additional MCP clients to follow), exposing a set of tools your assistant can use on your behalf: * Get coaching support: Access the BetterUp AI Coach instantly and receive relevant resources for your growth journey. * Manage scheduling: Check coach availability and manage bookings directly through your AI assistant. The Human Transformation Platform Process doesn't change your business. People do. Its platform removes the guesswork from developing your people at scale and delivers growth that's proven, predictable, and precise. Schedule a demo How to connect (current support: Claude) Getting started with Claude is simple: * Go to Claude > Settings > Connectors * Click Connect and select the BetterUp connector. Add the BetterUp MCP server: * Individual accounts: Select Custom MCP server, paste https://mcp.betterup.co/mcp, then Save. * Enterprise (org-managed): If custom connectors are restricted, ask your admin to add the BetterUp MCP server using https://mcp.betterup.co/mcp * Once approved, choose BetterUp from your approved connectors list. * Log in with your BetterUp account * Start your conversation with Claude - for example: "Work with my coach on my next growth topic." Note: For Enterprise Claude accounts, creating custom connectors may be restricted to admins. At this time, BetterUp, Inc. has only integrated with Claude; support for other MCP clients will roll out as their implementations mature. A security-first architecture Security is central to the BetterUp MCP server design. BetterUp, Inc. has built a stateless, standards-based system that ensures interactions are always authenticated and authorized, without persisting user data. Key architectural features include: * OAuth 2.1: Modern, secure authentication with automatic discovery endpoints (RFC 8414/9728 compliant). * Stateless design: No server-side storage; tokens are client-managed for each request. * Robust safeguards: Token passthrough prevention and resource-specific binding protect against misuse. Why build an MCP server for coaching? Every company is racing to launch an MCP server, but most focus on technical or infrastructure use cases. BetterUp's MCP server is unique because it enables human transformation, making trusted coaching and growth resources available in the same AI environments people already use for work. With BetterUp MCP, you can: * Get real-time recommendations for resources that fit your development goals * Send a quick message to your human coach, right from your AI assistant * Ask Claude to schedule your next session with a BetterUp coach This is where BetterUp stands apart. By bringing coaching into MCP, BetterUp, Inc. is not just following a trend - BetterUp, Inc. is pioneering how AI can strengthen growth, resilience, and performance in the flow of work. What's next The BetterUp MCP server is live - and this is just the beginning. Its roadmap includes: * Adding support for additional MCP clients (e.g., ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot) and publishing a client-by-client compatibility matrix, since capabilities may differ. * Unlocking richer experiences with MCP Prompts * Enabling deeper workflows like messaging your human coach, booking sessions seamlessly, and surfacing personalized resource recommendations * Exploring future write capabilities, such as updating coaching goals or tracking progress directly through AI assistants As AI assistants become core collaborators, BetterUp MCP ensures that growth and development move right alongside them. Start your integrated coaching journey With BetterUp MCP, professional coaching is only a conversation away. By connecting your AI assistant to BetterUp, you can make learning, reflection, and growth a natural part of your daily work. The Human Transformation Platform. Process doesn't change your business. People do. Its platform removes the guesswork from developing your people at scale and delivers growth that's proven, predictable, and precise.
