Decades of research \u2014 from the Harvard Study of Adult Development to modern workplace science \u2014 point to one truth: the quality of our relationships is the strongest predictor of happiness, health, and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>In The Together Effect, Swedish psychologist Katarina Blom brings this science into the workplace. With warmth, clarity, and hands-on participation, she shows that human connection is not a \u201csoft skill,\u201d but the foundation for long-term performance, innovation, and well-being.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><i>Seriously Happy &#8211; how to strengthen yourself and others<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>How much of our happiness level is determined by genetics, and how much is affected by our surroundings, like our paycheck for example? What is the most important factor for our well-being? (Hint! It is not our paycheck\u2026) And if positive thoughts aren\u2019t an effective way to create happiness, then what is? In this talk Katarina shares a clear and accessible model for well-being that everyone can benefit from.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><i>Well-being via Values<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Did you know that 45% of everything we do each day is done by routine? What routines and habits have the greatest impact on our well-being? How can we view organizational values as everyday routines? In this lecture, the values of the organisation transforms from being just an idea on paper to becoming everyday activities. Everyone will gain an understanding of the principles guiding a value-based behavior change, that lasts both today and in the long term.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><i>The sustainable workplace &#8211; in times of change<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>What are the common traps that a stressed organization can end up in? How is the brain and our actions affected by stress versus feeling safe? Why is stress a hindrance for evolving strategic actions? And what exactly do we need to do to strengthen each other in order to navigate times of change as a group? Katarina guides us towards increased sustainability in the workplace in this talk backed by research and interactive exercises.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  \n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"video-block_e0368b3cd9ff508bcf6f0d5d5e5acd6a\" class=\"block-video space-y-4 my-10\">\n  <div class=\"container-small\">\n\n    <div class=\"relative my-10 aspect-video embed\">\n      <div class=\"z-20\">\n        <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"You Don&#039;t Find Happiness, You Create It | Katarina Blom | TEDxG\u00f6teborg\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9DtcSCFwDdw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>      <\/div>\n\n                <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swedish psychologist Katarina Blom, author and TEDx speaker (5M+ views), reveals how strong relationships are the single strongest predictor of happiness, health, and resilience \u2014 and the key to innovation and high-performing teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1788,"menu_order":105,"template":"","profile_category":[318,501,500,495,494],"profile_tag":[169,165,125,177,1038],"profile_language":[],"class_list":["post-5349","profile","type-profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","profile_category-speakers","profile_category-communication-speakers","profile_category-leadership-speakers","profile_category-health-well-being-speakers","profile_category-motivation-inspiration-speakers","profile_tag-communication","profile_tag-health-well-being","profile_tag-leadership","profile_tag-motivation-inspiration","profile_tag-team-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
