Are the stories you tell yourself helping you thrive - or holding you back?
Each of us sees the world through a lens shaped by our experiences, assumptions and beliefs. This lens quietly influences our everyday life - including our wellbeing, relationships and choices - but most of us rarely stop to question it or realise how much power we have to change it.
At this special event, positive psychology expert Shawn Achor will share insights from his new book The Power of Beliefs and explore how the stories we tell ourselves can either hold us back or help us thrive. Drawing on cutting-edge research, powerful real-life examples and his trademark warmth and humour, Shawn will reveal how our conscious and unconscious beliefs shape the way we experience the world – and what becomes possible within it.
Shawn will introduce the Seven Core Power Beliefs that underpin resilience, connection and purpose - and explain how small shifts in mindset can create meaningful changes in our everyday lives. At a time when many of us feel overwhelmed and disconnected, this event offers a hopeful and practical guide to reclaiming your agency and optimism.
Whether you're seeking greater fulfilment, stronger relationships or simply a more empowering way to navigate life, this conversation will leave you inspired to see yourself and your future differently.
