< back Stress yourself Stress is not your enemy; it is an opportunity for self-development and growth. More detailed information Stress is not your enemy; it is an opportunity for self-development and growth. If you use it in a smart, sustainable way, it will help you to push yourself without burning yourself out. This presentation helps you to change your mind about stress. Talking points: Your attitude about stress alone influences your health and wellbeing. How can you change negative thinking styles and cultivate a positive mindset when you experience challenges? Too much or longterm stress can be dangerous, but the right amount serves as a powerful stimulus for growth. How do you assess what the correct amount is? What are the best strategies and techniques to stay focused, productive, optimistic, and calm when you are under a lot of pressure? We look at food, lifestyle, and peak performance techniques like mindfulness meditation. We often default to unhealthy, counterproductive behavior when we feel stressed. It doesn’t have to be that way. When you apply the principles in this presentation, you will start to view stress in a much more positive way and experience what stress can do FOR you (instead of TO you).

< back Disconnect to reconnect For Better (Working) Relationships in a Hyper-connected World and a better Work/Life Balance More detailed information The benefits of effective communication, empathy, and connection are well-known not only in private spheres but also in building trust within professional relationships and teams. However, our digital addiction has become so severe that we often find ourselves staring at screens rather than engaging with those around us physically. While this may seem harmless, it carries more significant implications than we realize. We have become "the disconnected connected": detached from our immediate experiences and connections but constantly tethered to the outside world. How can we leverage technology to our advantage and foster meaningful relationships where genuine connections thrive? In this presentation, Florence delves into the impact of constant connectivity on our brains and its consequences for interpersonal relationships. Through insightful observations, practical advice, and actionable tips, attendees will be inspired to be more present and forge valuable connections with both themselves and their colleagues.

< back Habits of High-Visibility Leaders How can leaders increase their presence, visibility, and interaction? More detailed information Inspiring leaders share certain habits; they walk the corridors, are seen at the lunchrooms and participate in the after-work drink rituals. But more often than not, our top-level leaders live in another world; they work at the same company with the same goals, vision and share the same elevators, but are invisible to the community working around them. How can leaders increase their presence, visibility, and interaction with the people making the company run, and still meet the needs of other stakeholders, clients, partners and board members? We humans believe in things we see. Our concept of reality is built largely through our senses, and feeling the presence of leadership in our daily working lives communicates culture and purpose more powerfully than words. When our leaders are with us, working alongside us, ready to listen, this builds trust, inspires and empowers.

More detailed information We already entered the age of lifelong learning. But not everyone is ready for this. People lack motivation, are wary of change. But then COVID-19 shook our world. We lost our grip, started to have doubts, looked for solutions. EVERYTHING TURNED INTO CHANGE. How can we keep ourselves motivated, our customers? How can we make sure that we are on the right site of innovation? How can we keep our creativity alive and kicking? ENTER CURIOSITY Curiosity is one of human's blessings, but it also gets us into trouble more than often. Curiosity is a powerful motivator, leading us to make important discoveries and explore the unknown. But reality and scientific research show that our curiosity is sometimes so powerful that it leads us to unintended consequences that have no apparent benefits, even when we have the ability to avoid these outcomes altogether. In her keynote, ianka explores how we can deal with this double-edged sword. How can we unlock our curiosity? Because getting people curious again is the solution. Curiosity puts people into action and makes them involved and committed. Strengthening the curiosity factor is important on a personal level but also in the workplace.
