In a world where uncertainty is no longer the exception but the norm, individuals, and organizations, have learned how to adapt, recalibrate, and endure. But let’s be clear: surviving isn’t the goal. We want to flourish. And we want the same for our teams, our communities, and the people we serve.
Today, a global movement is underway to redefine what it means to thrive. Drawing on emerging insights from Harvard’s Global Flourishing Study, one of the largest and most significant research efforts since 1938, this talk introduces a powerful new framework for understanding and cultivating flourishing across cultures, sectors, and systems. The study’s questions – not just its findings – are already transforming how we think about leadership, impact, and the human potential inside every workplace.
In this timely and energizing keynote, Amy Blankson, Chief Ambassador for the World Flourishing Organization, invites audiences into a fresh conversation about success, one that is grounded in purpose, backed by science, and built for what comes next. Whether your organization is just beginning to explore well-being or is already deeply invested in human development, this session will offer new insights, renewed inspiration, and practical strategies to help you go further, intentionally, strategically, and sustainably.
Because the future doesn’t just reward innovation. It rewards people who know how to flourish, and leaders who know how to create the conditions for it.
This program is ideal for individuals and teams who:
- Are leading culture, talent, or transformation initiatives and want to integrate flourishing into strategic priorities like engagement, retention, and performance
- Are rethinking their current well-being, DEI, or employee experience programs and need a holistic, evidence-based framework to guide next steps
- Are looking for actionable tools and fresh language to help their teams navigate change, build resilience, and create a shared vision of what thriving looks like
The audience will leave with:
- A Clearer Understanding of Flourishing – Demystify the complex, multi-dimensional nature of flourishing and why it’s essential to future-ready organizations
- A Mindset Shift from Surface Metrics to Meaningful Growth – Move beyond engagement and happiness scores to a richer, research-backed framework for transformation
- Tangible Tools for Leading Through Change – Walk away with practical, actionable strategies to help individuals and teams thrive in the face of ongoing disruption
