What does wellbeing look like in futures?

Your sustainability initiatives are being blocked by key stakeholders. How will you overcome this obstacle?
Engage your stakeholders using strategic foresight tools and explore their WIFMs and WAMIs: what's in for me and what's against my interests. To do that, you can use a Futures Wheel and place your sustainability initiative at the centre. Invite them to share their interpretations of what the impacts and consequences might be. You could also create alternative futures scenarios and invite them to explore these. With these tools, you'll surface assumptions, fears and clarifications of risks and opportunities.

Here's how you can harmonize your social impact passion with your career's financial needs.
As change-makers, harmonizing your social impact passion with your career's financial needs might seem at odds. It's not. If you are broke, you cannot serve the people/beings that you are seeking to make impact for. If you are setting up a business to tackle your social impact passion, then your mission is to generate income and reinvest it into achieving the goals of the business. Create a social enterprise. Be a cooperative. Distribute micro-loans as patient capital.

Here's how you can effectively advocate for social change in your career.
Whatever your career, if you want to effectively advocate for social change, start with the problem/challenge/unmet need that you're in-love with and who has it. Listen from a place of empathy and compassion before you generate ideas for solutions: keep validating what the problem really is. Don't do to people, do with them: make it people and planet centred solution design. Take time to understand what is happening at a global level in terms of addressing inequalities and achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals at a local level.

"When we look through the lens of wonder we connect with our imagination, creativity and resilience. We open up the space to flourish in our daily lives. What we are present to in wondering, unfolds our future selves. This talk explores why, how and what we can wonder now, to create the possibility of new futures which align with a flourishing planet.
Wonder is a powerful, practical tool used in futures, design and systems-thinking to imagine, explore and challenge the status quo of the present and disrupt predictions of the future. Wonder creates a level-playing field for everyone to come to the table to share their unique blend of problem-solving creativity. It enables us to connect deeply to Nature and be inspired by it for innovative solutions. Wondering brings us into states of flow and deep play, triggering positive emotions which contribute to our wellbeing. What we wonder together, plants the seeds of change that we will take back into our individual lives and share with our communities of change."

Wednesday 9th October 2019 – 13.30 – 17.30, EPFL Innovation Park, Building D, Room Uranus
Your entrepreneurship journey is full of challenges on a daily basis. To go fast and far on this journey to create successful brands and businesses you need to be resilient. That means moving from a strong core of flourishing to cultivate the conditions for your problem-solving creativity and innovation thinking.
Being resilient does not mean pushing yourself over the edge: if you are burnt-out, your business is at a stand-still. By deepening your resilience so that you adapt and navigate personal, professional and organisational challenges, you stay agile, dynamic and moving towards your goals. Resilience is about joy, deep play and staying creative to find new perspectives for solutions and open up new opportunities. As you embed resilience tools, you make the space for your team to be aligned with and delivering your vision, mission and values.
In this workshop you will:
Learn practical skills to deepen personal resilience
Allow yourself to flourish, feel more joy and avoid burn-out
Map a new path to achieve professional goals
Link resilience tools to developing lean, effective business processes
Practice interactive activities to embed your resilience toolkit
Leave with a resilience practice for unlocking creativity, innovation & entrepreneurial mindset
Who should attend? Everyone. Founders and team members from start-ups; Founders and team members from scale-ups; students and individuals exploring turning an idea into reality. -
