WST March 23 Opening Keynote Speaker – Dr Lollie Mancey
We are delighted to confirm that Dr. Lollie Mancey of the Innovation Academy will be our opening keynote speaker for WST March 23 2023.
“Be You – Because everyone else is taken” How to truly connect in a fragmented world
Dr Lollie Mancey joins us to kick off Work Smarter Together 2023 ‘Celebrating Us’ to talk about being proactive, about the masks we wear and why – the different roles we occupy and what they mean for us.
Dr. Mancey will explore the concept of authenticity and resilience – how we can borrow from the philosophy of Stoicism to frame our mindset for today using the ideas of agency, and radical self acceptance.
Join us to hear her thoughts on the clarity of hindsight and the power of reflecting – celebrating yourself and your strengths and knowing when to make changes by asking yourself some pertinent questions using Ikigai, a japanese concept which refers to those things that give a person a reason for living and a sense of purpose.
