Calling, Joy, Meaning: Stories, Business Case and Exercises

The two speakers for this event were classmates in secondary school, then lost touch for around 25 years. When they reconnected, they found that their very different journeys had led them to similar revelations. Through personal story-telling of joy and struggle, they share how they found their current Calling to help people flourish at work, school and life.  Why is flourishing important in the workplace? They share the business case and bring you through practical exercises during the session. The session will get you reflecting on your life journey, meaning and joy in work and how that leads to business, leadership and personal success.

 About the Speakers

Mallika Kripalani

Mallika is the founder of The Conscious Zone, a company that specialises in bringing mindfulness and stress-management solutions into schools, homes and businesses. She started her career in the reinsurance industry, where she held many high-stress and demanding roles in sales, marketing and business development. She draws upon these years of international corporate experience to help clients identify problems and integrate mindfulness practices in the workplace.

Since leaving the corporate world, Mallika has taught in the international school system for several years. She started implementing mindfulness in her classes in school and finds that it has made a remarkable difference to her students’ ability to focus and perform. She also conducts seminars for educators in both the international and local school systems, and runs workshops for adults and children where she has come to appreciate the importance of teaching the life skills of resilience and stress management.

Mallika has a B.A. from the University of Exeter and a Grad Dip in Teaching from Charles Sturt University. She has completed several professional mindfulness courses, including on mindful communication and difficult emotions.
