    In a world marked by burnout, polarization, and constant change, joy can seem like a luxury or even irrelevant. But what if joy is not the opposite of struggle, but the fuel that helps us navigate challenge with greater presence, resilience, and humanity?

    Join Ann Van Eron, Ph.D., leadership and organizational development consultant, executive coach, and co-author of JOYBeing: Connecting with Your Essence and the Rhythm of Life to Thrive and Inspire for a session that repositions joy as an essential leadership and organizational capacity. 

    Drawing on decades of leadership training practice, insights from the new book,  and current research in neuroscience and positive psychology, this session invites you to explore how cultivating joy within yourself and your systems can:

    • Strengthen resilience amid uncertainty
    • Expand perspective and support agile thinking
    • Deepen connection and psychological safety in teams
    • Revitalize purpose and engagement

    Through reflection, dialogue, and a JOYBeing practice you'll leave with tools and inspiration to bring more aliveness to your work and the leaders and organizations you support.
