Keynote Talks & Presentations
Our speakers deliver engaging, research-based keynote talks designed to inspire and equip leaders with actionable strategies. These engagements range from 30-minute talks to in-depth interactive presentations, and can be tailored to your event or organizational priorities. Topics include:
- Prosocial Profitability: Discover why kindness, compassion, and prosocial leadership drive engagement, retention, and organizational success.
- The Science of Happiness at Work: Learn research-backed approaches to fostering joy, satisfaction, and collaboration in your team.
- The Power of Gratitude: Explore how gratitude enhances well-being, resilience, and workplace relationships.
- Leading Through Uncertainty: Uncover a leader’s unique role in building a culture of psychological safety and in developing a vision rather than focusing on tactics
Each talk aims to leave attendees with concrete, evidence-based strategies they can apply individually and collectively.
Interactive Workshops & Retreats
We design workshops and small-group retreats that deepen learning, build practical skills, and foster team cohesion. These immersive experiences range from half-day sessions to multi-day retreats, and can be held on-site or virtually.
Examples of popular workshops & retreat formats include:
- Culture Reimagination Playshop: A creative, interactive workshop for teams to visualize current culture and co-design the culture they aspire to create.
- The Enlightened Manager: A half-day deep dive into people-centered leadership skills grounded in prosocial research.
- Conflict to Connection: An experiential workshop that teaches teams to transform interpersonal challenges into opportunities for collaboration and innovation.
- Micropractices for Mindfulness & Well-Being: Under 1-minute guided practices and science-based tools to support focus, resilience, and emotional regulation across teams.
Workshops and retreats are highly customizable to your organizational goals, team size, and timeframe.
Organizational & Cultural Consulting
Beyond speaking and workshops, GGSC offers consulting services that help organizations embed science-based principles into their structures, systems, and cultures.
Our consulting engagements help teams:
- Infuse empathy, gratitude, and well-being into organizational practices
- Assess your organization’s well-being barriers and enablers and craft interventions that boost well-being
- Shape media, products, and services to ground them in science as we did with Pixar’s Inside Out movies and with FaceBook’s emoji icons.
Whether you're launching a culture initiative, redesigning leadership development, or aligning your organization with evidence-based norms of well-being and performance, our team provides tailored guidance rooted in science.
