Throughout the day, you’ll hear from experts as they share their insights and experiences. You’ll engage in meaningful discussions with other attendees, allowing you to learn from others and explore these ideas even further for a collaborative learning experience. Using breakout rooms, we guarantee you will be involved in discussions with at least 30 other participants over the day.
But it’s not just about listening and talking – we also want you to take action. That’s why each speaker will provide practical tips that you can implement straight away at your workplace.
Whether you’re a manager, team leader, HR professional, or CEO, this conference is for anyone passionate about creating a people-first culture that empowers their people.
At Happy, we support an inclusive definition of ‘women’ and this conference is open to anyone who is cis, trans and nonbinary for whom womanhood is part of their gender identity or experience – or allies, who want to better understand how to make a more inclusive and fair world for everyone.
Find out how organisations worldwide are shifting the focus from micromanagement to trust, from surveillance to empowerment, and from stress to joy.

Leanne Davis – Facilitator, Coach and Learning Adventurer at LiveLearn
Sonali Kumarakulasinghe – Facilitator, Coach and Mentor at SK Consulting
Emotions are always present at work, and they can be helpful, or unhelpful, in our behaviours, decision making, working relationships and performance. In this experiential session we will use a card deck – the Emotional Culture Deck – to take a practical and intentional approach to identify how our emotions can enable our success at work. Participants will leave the session with increased awareness of how emotions at work matter, with some actionable next steps.
You can learn more by visiting Leanne’s website LiveLearn here, and Sonali’s LinkedIn here.
