An energetic lecture by Yana Darom on the possibility of learning joy at any age. The lecture addresses personal and organizational resilience, coping with uncertainty, and leveraging the adversity quotient. Through stories, humor, and practical tools, Yana presents a way to choose a joyful life even during difficult times.
Being happy is not a luxury—you can learn it at any age. It predicts success and is directly connected to our personal and organizational resilience.
In an energetic lecture where you won’t know whether to laugh or cry first, Yana shares stories from her life that will make you shift in your seat and feel that life is happening here and now—and that the choice is ours alone.
During an hour that passes far too quickly, Yana strengthens employees’ and managers’ ability to cope with personal, family, and professional challenges.
In the lecture, Yana teaches about a new concept that has recently emerged in happiness research: the distress coefficient, which has been found to predict success in effectively coping with uncertainty. She shows how it can be leveraged to our advantage.
In a relaxed gathering, Yana manages to win over even the last of the cynics and complainers—or, as she calls them, “the remnants of bitterness.” With honesty and humor, step by step, she builds a path toward choosing a joyful life, even when reality is falling to pieces, and shows how hot sand, ten fingers, and a cup of coffee can create a revolution of joy.
