Talk Title:

Mind of an Intelligent Leader

Talk Abstract:

We are subject to a lot of habitual thinking. That doesn’t make us really happy. In fact, it keeps us in these kinds of ongoing inner dialogues that just make us more and more disconnected from ourselves and let alone from other people. The more we can have an understanding of the mechanics of mind and how mind works and mind is not separate from feelings and emotion. The more we can have an understanding of how it all works for oneself or ourselves individually, the more we can perhaps began to change it. Leadership awareness is not a choice but necessity… and a huge opportunity for the business and for them as leaders. How can we change the story we’ve learned in the corporate world on what is the success? A purpose orientation that redefines the prioritization of company stakeholders (Company as a live organism) Interconnectivity, bravery, authenticity (honesty) and empathy Call to action: how as leaders we can help to make the world happier?

Talk Title: 

Leadership in a Disruptive Age 

Talk Abstract: 

The greatest achievement in our disruptive age is to disrupt the inner filter of negativity. Our habit is to focus externally, feeding the compulsion for bigger, better, faster innovation and growth. We run towards an idea of a future with a massive blindspot; the role of our own minds in the work we do, the technologies we invent, the companies we create and the relationships we foster. We rarely remember to question our own worldview and challenge our perception, inquiring into the nature of our subjective experience and the impact that it may have on our actions. True leadership in a disruptive age is a leadership that not only addresses external issues, but is also courageous and aware enough to address the need for mental change, individually, interpersonally and globally. Genuine leadership begins with self-leadership, which requires deep self-awareness.

A self-aware leader, committed to ongoing personal development, is fundamental to an organization’s success. These leaders stand at the cutting-edge of social and cultural evolution. They are adaptable, curious and self-reflective, possessing the courage to go beyond the rational mind, able to question their own logic and embrace different points of view. Their leadership vision is informed by an understanding of interdependence – the intricate relationships that form the basis of our world.

Able to discern between leading and being led, they are aware of their inner resources and can replenish these self-sufficiently. Self-aware leaders establish a sense of safety, trust and loyalty among their teams and staff, encouraging collaboration and inclusivity. Aware of their impact on others, evolving leaders are committed to an ongoing path of self-reflection and mind training, creating cultures of positivity and growth around them.

 

Talk Title with Mo Gawdat: 

Rules for Building a Positive Organization

Talk Abstract:

A positive organization consists of individuals with positive minds. When individuals feel safe, valued and clear about the guiding principles of the organizations they work for, they are more likely to be happy, creative and motivated. In a positively inspired organization, values are clearly defined and communicated. Values inform the smallest details ranging from the choice of toilet paper to executive decision making. Leadership act as role models and embody the values of the organization, encouraging their teams to do the same. Aware of its place in the ecosystem of the world, a positive organization takes responsibility to positively contribute to society and the environment, creating a virtuous feedback loop.

Wisdom of the Feminine Principle @ Neue House NYC

http://rsvp.neuehouse.com/feminineprinciple?fbclid=IwAR2mocJfEGgGIR0UCs3XR-LJZaNDhceVgWv4-GWTZKWxvAoTRhciVcVJTuM

With its fast and competitive feel, lack of natural space, and focus on individualism, NYC is a challenging place to flourish as a woman. It’s a city that makes it easy to respond to these environs by habituating disconnection from ourselves and others. 

Based in Eastern traditions of contemplation, as well as psychology, neuroscience and philosophy, Anahita Moghaddam will coach us into reclaiming our latent feminine essence by redirecting our mental energies.

Stoking our wisdom, playfulness, and sensuality is the set-up for self-ownership and reinvention.

London / Women, the Workplace and Happiness with Mo Gawdat & Anahita Moghaddam

Event page

Our dominant workplace culture is one that prioritizes and rewards patriarchal values. Often women learn to adapt and over-compensate, at the expense of their happiness and wellbeing, or passively accept supporting roles, sacrificing fulfillment and the opportunity to truly excel. This vicious cycle, not only takes its toll on women, but also on the overall success of organisations and the world at large.

For the past seven years, Mo Gawdat (Chief Business Officer at Google [X]) has been on a mission to make 1 billion people happier. His book, Solve for Happy argues that if we shape expectations to acknowledge the full range of possible events, unhappiness is on its way to being defeated. Mo will be joined by Anahita Moghaddam, a NYC-based coach and organizational trainer whose methodology draws on Contemplative Science, and together they will explore the reality faced by women in the workplace today, offering personal insights and applicable tools from their individual fields of research, to gradually reverse the cycle of disconnect and unhappiness. What would define the experience of women in the workplace if values were not compromised, and self-knowledge and deep-self awareness became unwavering guiding principles?

Applying these principles to the specific challenges faced by women in the workplace is the focus on this compelling and instructive session.

NYC / Northside Festival: Engineering Tools for Spreading Happiness

IMG_0755.JPG

Mo, is the former Chief Business Officer of Google X, and the author of Solve For Happy (translated into 28 languages). Mo’s mission was triggered after losing his son, Ali, due to a surgical error during a routine operation in 2014. In honor of Ali, Mo made it his life’s mission to share his engineering-model of happiness with the world.

His recent project, OneBillionHappy.org, is dedicated to spreading the message of happiness to a scientifically-minded, young, modern and global audience.


Both Mo and Anahita lead workshops around the world, speak at conferences, and bring their insights into organizations at the forefront of innovation, technology and finance.

Anahita's company, Neural Beings, is rooted in Buddhist psychology and modern science, and offers a contemplative perspective to the topic of happiness. Her workshops are based on the Four Noble Truths, explained through the lens of modern science. She has brought the teachings of the Four Noble Truths to Wall Street firms and technology conferences, leveraging Mo’s platform, which he generously shares with her. Anahita also serve as Chief Mindfulness and Ethical Officer at a New York-based technology and investment firm.

Individually, and as a couple, Mo and Anahita dedicate their lives to alleviating suffering and spreading the tools for happiness.

NYC / Future of Humanity with Deepak Chopra, Mo Gawdat & Anahita Moghaddam

https://membersnomad.theassemblage.com/en/events/view/620632094/the-future-of-humanity-extinction-or-evolution

The speed of technological advancement has led to rapid globalization and the transformation of how people interact with the world. While technology has vastly improved digital connectivity and scientific breakthroughs, it has simultaneously created an illusion of the separate self, which in effect has been pushing our species and planet to the brink of collapse.

As Mo Gawdat emphasizes in his mission to make #OneBillionHappy, "1 of 4 people in the world is clinically depressed and teen suicide is at an all time high. Life expectancy is better, but we’ve never been unhappier". With technology such as AI, will the human race face extinction or evolve to peacefully co-exist with each other and the natural world? Is it possible to leverage exponential technology to advance happiness?

During this discussion moderated by Peace Accelerators co-founder Susanna Choe, we’ll be evaluating human evolution through the lens of the engineering, science and spirituality with Mo GawdatAnahita Mogdhaddam and Deepak Chopra.

NYC / The Awakening Mind: The Contemplative Science of Happiness

IMG_9396.jpg


The pursuit of happiness is one thing we all share in common. Yet if we all so fundamentally want to be happy, why aren't we? Why does happiness seem so challenging to achieve and maintain throughout our lives?

Take a dive into your mind in this interactive discussion on the science of happiness, explained within the frameworks of Tibetan Buddhist psychology and neuroscience. Beginning with a guided meditation and evolving into a talk and guided discussion, we will take a realistic look at the nature of the mind, and explore practices that help us cultivate mental resources to gradually reverse the wheel of suffering, making compassion, kindness and joy a spontaneous and lasting trait.
