THO HA VINH - KEYNOTE SPEAKER

KEYNOTE - MINDFULNESS: A PATH TOWARDS HAPPINESS IN ORGANISATIONS 

Mindfulness, Happiness, Wellbeing, Compassion… until recently, these words seemed alien to the world of business, but times have changed. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Mindfulness workshops have become some of the most popular events; the UN has declared the 20th of March World Happiness Day, and each year the World Happiness Report gives an overview of the state of the world from the perspective of Happiness and Wellbeing.

Where does this trend come from? Is it simply one more short-lived fad, or are there deeper causes underlying it that can impact the business world?

Based on his experience as Program Director of the Gross National Happiness Centre in Bhutan, we will reflect

on the nature of true Happiness, and using case studies, he will show its implication in organizational contexts.

We will also explore “Happiness Skills”, such as Mindfulness, Compassion and Listening Skills, and we will ask

ourselves what this could mean for our own organization.

Workshop - CONVERSATIONAL INTELLIGENCE®: HOW TO MINDFULLY COMMUNICATE FROM INSIDE-OUT

Conversations are not what they seem. They are part of incredible energetic interactions that impact our neurochemistry and activate powerful systems and networks in our brain and heart that “read” the energy and enable us to engage -or not- with others.Without healthy conversations, we shrivel up and … die. Conversations are the source of energy that moves us out of our doldrums when we are sad, the power that launches transformational products, and the golden threads that enable us to trust others. As we become mindful of the behaviors that open us up and those that close us down, and their influence in our relationships, we can better harness the chemistry of conversations, leading to conversational intelligence. Mindfulness about our conversational impact enables us to get on the same page with others, strengthens our relationships – and expands our potential for higher levels of engagement and innovation.
