An International Keynote Speaker, published author, and professor, I am on a mission to motivate and inspire. My background in positive psychology, sociology, and political science has endowed me with the knowledge and expertise to fulfill this mission. I am passionate about helping people realize their full potential while making an enduring mark on the world.

I use positive psychology tools to help individuals and organizations flourish. Positive psychology is the study of what makes individuals and communities thrive. This covers themes such as well-being, optimal human functioning, peak performance, flow states, and motivation. My love for academia, and the science behind motivation, has prompted me to pursue a PhD at the University of Plymouththat focuses on how entrepreneurs find motivation and well-being at work.

Entrepreneurial Well-being
Abstract

Entrepreneurship can be broadlydefined as the establishment of a new venture or what is known as new entry. Entrepreneurs play a seminal role in the economy and naturally contend with a unique set of challenges regardless of enterprise size and scope. As the study of optimal human functioning, flow states, and how individuals can lead more virtuous, meaningful lives, positive psychology has offered a wide range of well-being frameworks. Some revolve around psychological well-being while others revolve around subjective well-being; considered two opposing ends of a spectrum. I will be discussing novel, creative ways that can assist entrepreneurs on their journey that is typically characterized as a roller coaster ride; rife with ups and downs, challenges, and uncertainty.

As part of my PhD research, my goal is to formulate a unique well-being framework tailored to the contemporary entrepreneur. That is precisely what I will be sharing during my keynote speech. Evidence-based, science-backed strategies and theories that can help founders and businesspeople experience the different forms of well-being, as defined by them, and as specific as possible to their unique pain points. Entrepreneurship no longer needs to be a treacherous experience; akin to sailing into the high seas of the business world. Instead, my aim is to cushion the blows of uncertainty, part and parcel of the entrepreneurial journey, and arm entrepreneurs with the necessary tools that can help them navigate what can be a highly impactful, immensely beautiful journey of inner world discovery and outer world impact.
