What if love is the secret key to business success after all? In this session, Amira El-Gawly, our Founder + CEO, will share tangible ways you can become an ambassador for love (both of self and others) in your workplace, bringing more humanity to your perspective, relationships and projects.

Most of us have been conditioned over the years to believe that work is a place to produce (and to perform). And while productive action is great, we too often pursue this at the expense of our humanity. The problem isn't only that we try to leave our "personal life" at home—it's that we expect everyone else at work to do the same, too.

No matter how hard we try, workplaces will always be filled with messy, unique, beautiful humans, often sharing more time together in each others' company than with anyone else on earth. Can you see that? If not, you're missing a massive, life-changing opportunity to be more fulfilled and do the same for others.

Disclaimer: When we say "bring love to work," we aren't talking about the romantic kinda love. We're talking about the many other, often forgotten, ways we can actively love people around us: by expressing gratitude, appreciating, encouraging, inspiring and learning from them. Research is crystal clear on the subject. Employees who feel personally appreciated are motivated to work harder and are emotionally invested in the wellbeing of the organization. Managers who feel appreciated by their teams will go out of their way to support their growth and personal goals.
