The Human Centred Work Summit is not a traditional conference. Each of our speakers and panelists are intended to be 'sparklers' - experts with innovative ideas that spark conversation on the topic of 'What does it mean to be human?.' Through inspired dialogue we want to energize a community of leaders to take action in their organizations and with their clients. We don't just want people to attend, we want people to transform and drive innovation in their sphere of influence. After the summit, Haesun and Louisa are inviting you to join their Human Centred Work Collective where the ideas from the summit can come to life.

The summit agenda is designed to encourage participation by all attending and equip everyone with the tools they need to take action to increase human thriving at work. Haesun and Louisa have determined certain characteristics of what it means to be human at work and they are inviting you to join in this inaugural summit where you will challenge their ideas and engage in dialogue that expands our notion of what it means to be human at work. The speakers and panelists are experts in their field and will spark interesting conversation for all attendees. Summit organizers will take the ideas and actions and share with all attendees. Following the summit, Haesun and Louisa invite everyone to join them in their continued work together to increase human thriving through their Human Centred Work Collective.

A World Café is a structured conversational process that fosters collaborative dialogue, allowing participants to explore meaningful questions and share insights. Through multiple rounds of discussion and movement between tables, it harnesses the collective wisdom and creativity of participants. This method ultimately aims to generate new ideas and solutions for real-world challenges. Harvesting in a World Café refers to the process of collecting and sharing the collective knowledge and insights generated during the conversations with all participants after the summit.

The Human Centred Work Collective is a coaching program and learning community of like-minded professionals who will come together twice a month for 6 months to learn new strategies and tools, gain insights, and participate in peer-to-peer learning to foster a truly human-centred work environment. The Collective is led and facilitated by Louisa Jewell, founder of the Canadian Positive Psychology Association, and Dr. Haesun Moon, founder of the Canadian Centre for Brief Coaching. Louisa and Haesun will share their deep knowledge in practices that promote wellbeing in the workplace, solution-focused and positive psychology-based techniques, and human learning practices.

The Human-Centred Work Collective is an exclusive community of practice designed for visionary leaders and dedicated practitioners who believe in the power of collective growth. This is not just another professional development program—it’s a vibrant, collaborative space where you will come together with like-minded individuals to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact, much like a mastermind group. While personal development is a natural outcome of your participation, the true essence of the collective lies in the synergy of shared learning and collective action. As a collective, we will explore cutting-edge practices, challenge conventional thinking, and support each other in driving transformative change within our organizations and beyond.
