Starting off with Amy’s inspirational message really kicked off our program on the right foot. I’ve spoken with many people since the offsite and most of them are incorporating JGAME into their daily lives (personally, I’ve gotten good at the gratitudes but need more consistency with the J,A,M and E). We also received her books this week, which we are sharing with the team as a follow up to keep putting her strategies into place.

Without exaggeration, that was one of the most impactful presentations I have experienced. I loved your tips and strategies. For once, my brain was thinking “I can do that!” rather than “Those ideas would be nice if I had the time.” I’m really inspired to take the learnings forward, and I will report back on the results.”

Amy’s warm personality, lighthearted presentation style, and lessons of fearless positivity woven throughout an interactive journaling practice reminded our teacher leaders that it is ok to take time to focus on themselves and their needs. She has piqued their interest in happiness in the digital age and left them with strategies they can implement in their classrooms to ensure a healthy balance of technology for their students as well as themselves.

Amy’s program on Fearless Positivity exceeded our expectations, it was amazing in so many ways! Our team was very grateful and appreciative of Amy’s ability to weave in the things that we had expressed in our pre-meeting call that were important for us. She wove them in seamlessly to her presentation and made the connection to the audience (team, community, connectivity, coalition work, etc.). It made a big impact for the attendees and being able to pull both personal and professional gems from Amy’s presentation that will help them moving forward!

Amy kept the audience engaged the whole time. Her virtual presentation was approachable and practical. She visually captivated participants, masterfully presented the benefits of being positive and gave them simple tools and systems to acquire skills needed to reach their goals. Some audience comments included: Thoughtful and practical – really enjoyed the discussion; I thought the idea of ‘habit stacking’ was smart and approachable. Great suggestion!; Wow!!! This is a very important topic for anyone. It increases happiness in those who apply these ideas, as a result. Well done, thank you!

Keynote by Amy Blankson:

THE FUTURE IS FLOURISHING: Why Thriving People and Cultures Will Define What’s Next

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

SUPER THINKERS: How to innovate, lead, and thrive in an AI-driven world

Amplify Your Thinking. Elevate Your Leadership. Shape the Future.

AI isn’t just changing the way we work – it’s redefining what it means to lead. The real advantage in this new era won’t come from simply adopting AI tools, but from knowing how to think in an AI-powered world. The leaders who thrive will be the ones who ask better questions, challenge assumptions, and use AI to amplify human ingenuity, accelerate problem-solving, and unlock new frontiers of creativity and growth. SuperThinkers don’t just react to change, they drive it, shaping the future with curiosity, strategy, and an unshakable commitment to human potential.

This keynote is a call to action for forward-thinking professionals across industries. It’s designed to equip you with the mindset and strategies to lead with confidence, innovate boldly, and stay ahead in an ever-evolving landscape.

This program is perfect for individuals and teams who:

  • Want to use AI as a force multiplier for creativity and strategic thinking, rather than a replacement for human expertise.
  • Need practical, real-world strategies to navigate rapid technological change with clarity and focus.
  • Understand that the future of leadership isn’t just about technical know-how–it’s about amplifying distinctly human strengths like critical thinking, empathy, and vision.

The audience will leave with:

  • A Future-Ready Mindset – From uncertainty to confident leadership in an AI-powered world.
  • A Strategic Roadmap – How to stay relevant, boost productivity, and lead with impact.
  • A Competitive Edge – Guide hiring, help teams innovate, and make time for deep thinking.

AI won’t replace us, but the leaders who master it will outpace those who don’t. The future belongs to the SuperThinkers, those who harness AI not just to work faster, but to think deeper, lead better, and create more boldly than ever before. Will you be one of them?

FEARLESS POSITIVITY: Mastering mindset in the midst of uncertainty

Shift Your Perspective. Reclaim Your Power. Thrive in the Unknown.

We all face fear, discomfort, and resistance to change, yet our actions in the face of these challenges are what truly define us. Fearless Positivity is not the absence of fear, but the opportunity to move through it by focusing on what matters most. The most successful leaders and teams aren’t the ones who wait for stability or wish for certainty. They’re the ones who build mental resilience, reframe challenges as opportunities, and harness the power of Fearless Positivity to lead with confidence, clarity, and courage, no matter what comes next.

This keynote is a call to action for individuals and teams navigating change, disruption, or high-stakes transitions. Grounded in the science of mindset and resilience, this session provides actionable strategies to help you cultivate optimism without naivety, embrace uncertainty without fear, and move forward with purpose—even when the path ahead isn’t clear.

This program is perfect for individuals and teams who:

  • Are navigating rapid change, uncertainty, or high-pressure environments.
  • Want to break free from stress, fear, and overwhelm to lead with clarity and conviction.
  • Need practical tools to cultivate a mindset that fuels growth, resilience, and success.

The audience will leave with:

  • A mindset shift that transforms uncertainty from a roadblock into a launchpad for growth.
  • Practical strategies to stay focused, motivated, and mentally strong – even in tough times.
  • The confidence to lead with optimism and resilience – without ignoring real challenges.

Uncertainty isn’t the enemy – it’s the proving ground for leadership, innovation, and growth. Fearless Positivity isn’t about ignoring challenges; it’s about meeting them head-on with clarity, courage, and an unshakable belief in what’s possible.

(Workshop) THE JOY GAME™: Unlocking joy for a more engaged, creative, and productive workplace

Because When People Thrive, Organizations Do Too.

Joy isn’t just a feel-good emotion – it’s a performance driver. Research shows that when people feel energized and connected to their work, they’re more engaged, innovative, and productive. Yet too often, well-being feels like another task rather than an integrated part of how we work. What if joy wasn’t something to achieve but a strategy, one you could tweak to create more fulfilling, high-impact work?

This interactive workshop introduces The Joy Game, a research-backed, game-based approach to making joy a daily, actionable practice. Rooted in psychology, behavioral science, and game theory, this framework helps leaders and teams transform stress and disengagement into momentum, creativity, and purpose.

Why Businesses Need More Joy at Work

  • Boosts Engagement & Retention – Energized employees stay longer and contribute more.
  • Enhances Productivity & Innovation – A positive mindset fuels better problem-solving.
  • Strengthens Resilience in Change – Joy helps teams navigate uncertainty with confidence.
  • Improves Collaboration & Culture – When people enjoy their work, they perform at their best.

This Workshop is Perfect for Leaders and Teams Who:

  • Want to create a thriving workplace culture.
  • Need practical strategies for well-being and engagement.
  • Are navigating uncertainty or burnout.

Participants Will Leave With:

  • A Science-Backed Framework for making joy a strategic advantage.
  • Practical, Game-Based Tools to shift mindsets and sustain engagement.
  • A Renewed Sense of Purpose & Motivation for daily impact.
