Key Speakers
Closing Plenary
Finding Joy in Your Work
Why do we do what we do and what ignites the fire in our bellies? Is finding joyful work a big ask? What does joy actually do for us? In our energising closing keynote, Esther will take you on a journey exploring the transformative power of joy.
Drawing on psychology research and some super cool human stories, we will unpack the essence of what is really making us tick in our day-to-day work. You will also learn how to (unapologetically) prioritise self-care, reactivate purpose, and navigate challenges by embracing the moments when you're truly thriving in your strengths.
Get ready for fresh discoveries, a-ha moments, liberating questions…and a bit of playfulness along the way.
