Our conventional definition of success is summarised in the Merriam- Webster dictionary as 'the attainment of wealth, favour, or eminence’. But what does success truly mean, especially after our experience with Covid-19? What are the narratives that we tell ourselves about success? And which among these narratives are we bringing into our new normal after the pandemic?

“Over the past year, no area has undergone more rapid transformation than the way we work. Employee expectations are changing, and we will need to define productivity much more broadly — inclusive of collaboration, learning, and wellbeing to drive career advancement for every worker, including frontline and knowledge workers, as well as for new graduates and those who are in the workforce today. All this needs to be done with flexibility in when, where, and how people work.”

Lana and Veronica, will join Sarah and Stephen  to explore this topic on redefining success post pandemic.

In the last 30 minutes, we will switch gears and we will get to know each other through an Online Networking with a SPIN.

This event is organized by Zebras Unite: Amsterdam Chapter, in collaboration with SPIN Ideas.

Stephen spent 10 years managing and learning how motivation and behaviour impacts the way we work.

Stephen studied the concept that if we created happier working environments who would benefit and what would those benefits be? Greater employee engagement, lower employee turnover, increased profits and employees with lower stress levels.

So for the past 10 years Stephen has championed organisations that create happier workplaces. Working with leaders in organisations to shape a happier modern working environment.

He also runs the Happy workplace Ireland conference now in its 5th year. Where organisations as diverse as Tony’s Chocolonely, Innocent drinks and Airbnb have shared how they have transformed the world of work for the better.

He also co presents the WOW at work Podcast with Liliana Ashton and co runs the Happyworkplacehub, a community for those wishing to understand and create happier working cultures.
