The attention on workplace happiness has grown in recent years, especially in the GCC region. But, what does it mean to be "happy" at work? Is it just about more pizza parties, or is it something bigger, more meaningful, and which has the ability to transform people's lives?

Dr. Louise Lambert argues the answer to that question is yes.

Dr. Louise Lambert, PhD., is a Registered Psychologist (College of Alberta Psychologists, Canada) with 20 years’ experience in counselling centres, mental health, not-for-profit organizations, higher education and research, and primary healthcare organizations. She explores the "Commercial Wellbeing" model recently put forward and from which it is possible to boost employee, customer, and community wellbeing. She uses case studies to bring theory alive and offers several small, practical activities for participants to do and experience.

Boris Diekmann has over fifteen years of experience in culture shaping, leadership development and personal transformation. He has been a Vice President with Senn Delaney, a culture shaping pioneer, and served as “Head of Culture” at Majid Al Futtaim in Dubai.

Experiencing an interactive session with Boris Diekmann, will allow you to reconnect with some of those universal principles that can help us be at our best more often and lead more consciously with a “Chief Energy Officer” mindset – at work, at home or in our community. The session is an opportunity to reflect on some elements of human energy that represent the starting point for senior teams embarking on a journey of transformation.
