In today’s fast-changing world of automation, hybrid work, and human burnout, the real competitive edge isn’t technology it’s joy. In this dynamic and research-backed session, Damilare Adeyeri (The Joy Activator) reveals how joy, belonging, and accountability drive engagement, retention, and innovation across teams. Blending neuroscience, organizational psychology, and storytelling, Damilare introduces the Joy-Powered Performance Equation, a practical framework that helps HR leaders and managers reduce friction, elevate performance, and sustain energy in the age of AI. Participants will explore science-based micro-rituals to improve focus and morale, and learn how intentional joy transforms culture into measurable business impact. Through interactive exercises and energizing moments of movement, Damilare brings the message to life proving that joy is not a luxury or a “soft skill,” but a leadership strategy that multiplies results. Attendees will leave inspired, recharged, and equipped to build workplaces where people don’t just perform, but thrive.
