Accelerated Serendipity - Planning To Be Lucky

Most people think luck means random chance. This experiential learning session will mess with that assumption, and reveals how personal and professional transformation often begins with the opportunities we learn to notice, create, and act on. Yes, many people accidentally stumble into rewards. But for the rest of our lives, there is growing evidence that we are often the biggest limiter of our own success - including in situations involving random chance that could benefit us. Through interactive games, social experiments, roleplay scenarios, chain-reaction challenges, and coincidence simulations, we’re turning serendipity into something you can begin activating all around you. You’ll experience: 🎲 how to tweak conversation to bring up opportunities 🎲 invisible domino effects behind synchronicity 🎲 why energy, enthusiasm, and participation magnify possibilities 🎲 "being in the right place at the right time" more often 🎲 activate secrets of momentum no one talks about By the end of the session, you may begin questioning whether luck was ever truly random to begin with. Or at the very least…why not begin by asking: “What is the best that can happen?” if you attend this event.

It’s a party reimagined - alcohol-free, featuring healthy plant-based food.

Master the Art of Better Decisions

This interactive session equips you with practical tools to enhance Emotional Intelligence (EI), manage cognitive biases and make better decisions by mastering System 1 (emotional reactivity) and System 2 (logical analysis) thinking where EI serves as the vital bridge between the two. By attending this session you will unlock: * Improved decision making: Reduce the "hidden tax" of cognitive shortcuts. Know when to trust our 'gut feelings' and when to switch to rational thought. * Greater performance under pressure: Learn to recognise triggers and pivot from reactive impulses to deliberate, strategic choices when the stakes are high. * Better collaboration: When you regulate your own System 1 responses, psychological safety flourishes, which leads to better collaboration. * Increased resilience: Build a team that doesn’t just survive volatility but thrives in it. ***Facilitators*** ***[Caidryn Roder](https://www.linkedin.com/in/caidyrn/):*** *Co-founded ProSocia and has over 20 years of experience helping people and organisations thrive.
