However\, happiness isn’t a given; it arises from our genetic predispositions\, cultural influences\, and is sculpted by our choices and deeds. So\, what everyday actions can steer us towards happiness?” \nJoin us as we discuss how behaviors like embracing creativity\, fostering optimism\, practicing gratitude\, and exhibiting compassion can not only enhance our personal lives but also ripple outwards\, contributing to a broader happiness in our communities. \nEngage with us in a conversation that cuts to the heart of happiness\, as we collectively ask: What is happiness and how do we find it? \n“Happiness is a journey\, not a destination; happiness is to be found along the way\, not at the end of the road\, for then the journey is over and it’s too late.

As we start a new year and build momentum on our priorities\, let’s take a moment to take stock of what’s working\, what’s not\, and what needs to be done in the months ahead to embed wellbeing into the core of our leadership approach\, our team operations\, and organizational culture. \nJoin us at this virtual Leader Roundtable to exchange actionable practices\, new mental models\, and raise up the questions that need answering in order for us to foster an environment where wellbeing and success are intertwined. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.

New reporting regulations are in effect or will soon be\, global efforts to increase focus on biodiversity and nature-related climate impacts are underway\, scrutiny of carbon markets and their role in net zero commitments is reaching new heights\, AI is promising novel solutions at the same time it carries certain risks to our progress\, and the need for community-centered approaches to adaptation and resilience is likely to become even more acute as climate impacts mount. \nJoin us at this virtual Leader Roundtable for a forward-looking discussion about the year ahead for climate and sustainability work.

But more work is needed — particularly ahead of a high-stakes election year that holds great potential to divide us anew.  \nTo that end\, please join us for a special pop-up event where we’ll discuss what to expect in the upcoming 2024 election and how we can better prepare ourselves to face these renewed threats to democracy.

The changes in work and working styles\, expectations of employers\, and a commitment to DEIB present a window of opportunity for businesses to not only actively support the re-entry of women in the workforce\, but also to accelerate the advancement of workers with families and usher in a broader commitment for gender equity.Join us for a 90-minute working group\, convening leaders to surface effective solutions\, understand barriers\, catalyze partnerships\, & share cross-sector knowledge to build the business case for supporting dual-working moms – those who work both in the home & in the workforce. \nThis working group is part of a NationSwell Collaborative project with American Family Insurance Institute for Corporate & Social Impact\, Annie E.

It is becoming increasingly clear that no matter who we are or where we live\, we all have a role to play in the solution. Leaders are becoming aware of the intersectional nature of climate issues – all jobs are eco-jobs\, and all organizations can incorporate climate into their work. Exciting cross-sector initiatives\, such as The Partnership for the Civilian Climate Corps that will put people on pathways to good-paying jobs in the clean energy and resilience sectors\, show us how leaders are entering the climate conversation and making a difference.  \nJoin us for a leadership support session led by climate experts from across industries on what you can do to incorporate a climate focus into your organization’s work. We’ll tackle key questions around implementing those changes: how to engage the next generation of leaders in our programs; how we can structure new financial mechanisms that de-risks investment in climate tech solutions at the project development stage; and how we can best leverage the most effective cross-sector partnerships and storytelling to catalyze support for the implementation of new solutions. \nOur goal is to carve out virtual space for connection\, support\, and shared learning for any leaders of nonprofits\, businesses\, social enterprises\, and communities who are navigating ways to address intersectional issues in their work.
