CONFERENCES – WORKSHOPS – COACHING – NETWORKING  

HEC Life Project  is pleased to launch the second edition of the HEC LIFE PROJECT FESTIVAL, placed under the sign of optimism. A 100% online event over two days to get inspired, explore the future of work and its mutations, and exchange with the actors of these transformations. 

We are convinced that it is urgent to cultivate optimism in order to take up the complex and exciting challenges that shake companies as well as our professional and personal lives, and require a profound paradigm shift. Quest for meaning, responsible business and leadership, social and environmental impact, neurosciences, positive psychology, switch, flexibility, solidarity, life-long learning, there are many ways to grasp the multiple facets of optimism and its impact on work.

Talks and conferences will allow you to learn and be inspired thanks to our witnesses and experts, our workshops to discover in practice innovative approaches and concrete advice to feed your professional project and finally you will be able to benefit from a speed coaching with one of our Coaches to accompany you on an individual goal*. A networking time will also be proposed at the closing of the Festival to allow you to exchange with the participants and the HEC Alumni and Life Project teams.


* Only for Alumni and within the limit of available slots

** This event is FREE for HEC students


PROGRAM


TUESDAY APRIL 6 

6.15pm-7.30pm CET // TALK

"Le futur du travail est déjà là ! Etes-vous prêt ?"

Avec le Pr Ilona Boniwell, Professeure en Psychologie et l’une des professionnels les plus renommés en Psychologie Positive. 

L’avenir du monde professionnel est déjà fortement impacté par le printemps de l’IA, la multiplicité de nos identités digitales, l'apparition d’une hybridité profonde et les emplois en voie de disparition - tout cela constitue des changements exponentiels. De quelles ressources disposons-nous pour faire face à cette "nouvelle normalité" ? Et la prochaine "nouvelle normalité" ?

Participez à la conversation sur le capital psychologique qui nous permet de survivre et de nous épanouir dans un monde qui n'est pas près de ralentir.

7.30pm- 8.30pm CET // TABLE RONDE en partenariat avec Philonomist
"Est-il bien raisonnable dêtre optimiste ?"

Animée par Apolline Guillot (H.21), Journaliste et Philosophe chez Philonomist


Avec Elisabeth Laville (H.88), Fondatrice d'UTOPIES, Alexandre Cadain (H.15), Co-fondateur ANIMA et WORLD GAME et Fabrice Gerschel (H.91), Fondateur et Editeur de Philosophie Magazine


7.30pm-9pm CET // WORKSHOP (IN ENGLISH)
"True Optimism : Letting go of the Happiness Fantasy" 

With Benjamin Depraz-Brenninkmeijer (H.13), Director of Business Development and Head of the Coaching Division.

Being optimistic participates in a paradigm that ultimately places happiness as the ultimate goal or desired state. It's the glass half-full attitude, hoping that in the end success or good times will prevail. Although there are undeniable benefits to optimism, it often leads us to fantasize about the state of affairs and how life should be. This fantasy then becomes the very source of our disappointments, hurt and suffering. Ignoring the negative and focusing solely on the positive is, in the end, living only a half-life.
 This workshop will explore how you can create a more aware outlook on events and how you can let go of this lopsided happiness fantasy, in order to breed real presence, grounding and trust in your life. Through a rigorous method, you will develop the self-awareness necessary to increase peace of mind, equanimity and balance. You will learn how to not only face challenges but embrace them fully, and why doing so is the path of true optimism.

WEDNESDAY APRIL 7 

9am-10am CET // WORKSHOP (IN ENGLISH)
"Positive mind @ Work"   
With Arnaud Complainville (MBA.05) and Veronica Brejan, Managing partners at Neuromindfulness Institut

"Our brain evolved to keep us safe, not to make us happy”. For evolutionary reasons, we tend to pay much more attention to negative events and emotions than to positive ones, which are actually on average more numerous. This has a big impact on our lives and on our work. When we focus too much on negatives, our brains tend to move into a defensive mode, which is detrimental to our individual cognitive performance, to our ability to connect with colleagues and build trust within teams.

In this session, we will explore:

- The neural basis of negativity bias and how to offset it
- What are our main buttons of emotions that we can push either positively or negatively
- The effects of these buttons on our cognitive performance and our ability to connect with and trust other people. 

9am-10am CET // ATELIER  
"HEC SWITCH STORIES : comment réinventer sa vie professionnelle"

Avec Violaine Amigues (H.91), Co-fondatrice et Directrice associée de Kint et Romaric Chabert (EMBA.05), Coaching & outplacement de dirigeants

En ces temps troublés, l’optimisme est devenu un sport de combat. C’est une source d’énergie primordiale quand on recherche un emploi, mais aussi l’une des compétences phares valorisées aujourd’hui par les recruteurs. 

Deux experts en RH et accompagnement de dirigeants vous apporteront leur vision actualisée du marché du recrutement et des outils pour cultiver votre optimisme conquérant !
