KEYNOTE conversation TOPICS

lead a healthy culture of well-being

How the Best Organizations Make Well-Being the Way They Work

  • Teams drive company culture, and when people feel healthy, supported, and motivated to do their best work, it’s a win-win for both employees and employers.

  • The best companies treat well-being as a leadership operating system. In this Keynote Conversation, Mark Mohammadpour reveals how the healthiest organizations have re-engineered their workflows, not their wellness programs, to drive engagement and performance.

    Using The CHASE Model, Mark demonstrates how leaders can integrate well-being into their daily operations, communication patterns, and decision-making processes to cultivate cultures that sustain themselves.

  • Why Now: 52% of employees say their employer does not support their well-being in meaningful ways, and 69% of executives admit they have no measurement strategy for it. Well-being has become a competitive differentiator. Companies that fail to operationalize it are falling behind in retention, innovation, and trust. Source: Deloitte.

    • Reimagine well-being as a core business driver, not a short-term initiative.

    • Learn how individual leadership choices shape cultural health at scale.

    • See energy, safety, and connection as strategic metrics, not soft skills.

    • Adapt The CHASE Model™ to common leadership moments like hiring, onboarding, and recognition.

    • Leave with a simple framework they can start in minutes to track and sustain progress.

  • This hands-on session is a winning investment in your team’s success. Leaders will assess current workflows, meetings, and communication patterns to identify opportunities to optimize energy use and improve communication. Together, they’ll build Well-Being Scorecards and co-create a shared language for energy, focus, and belonging.

The buoyant leader: healthy under pressure

Why the Most Grounded Leaders Soar

  • Leaders who care for their well-being make them stronger, steadier, and more effective for their teams.

  • When the waves rise, buoyant leaders rise higher. Mark Mohammadpour’s Keynote Conversation delivers a fresh perspective on leadership resilience, reframing pressure as information rather than intimidation.

    Blending neuroscience, personal transformation, and humor, Mark teaches how calm is the new credibility and how well-being is the new strength.

    Using The CHASE Model, Mark demonstrates how leaders can integrate well-being into their daily operations, communication patterns, and decision-making processes to cultivate cultures that sustain themselves.

  • 77% of workers experience work-related stress, and 57% of leaders say it impacts their ability to lead effectively. Organizations need leaders who can remain calm, communicate effectively, and transform stress into a strategic advantage. Source: APA.

    • Build resilience through intentional self-leadership.

    • Welcome calm as a leadership advantage.

    • Reframe resilience as a team strategy, not an individual one.

    • Balance leadership responsibilities without burning out.

    • Leave with tools to protect their energy while leading effectively.

  • This conversation provides leaders with practical tools to stay grounded and make informed decisions. Using live scenarios and group coaching, participants will practice applying coaching frameworks designed to build confidence and trust with their teams.

lead with empathy

Trust Is the New Productivity

  • Empathy isn’t soft; it’s a strategic imperative.

  • In this powerful Keynote Conversation, Mark Mohammadpour demonstrates how empathy is the most effective way to build trust, strengthen teams, and minimize miscommunication. Audiences will experience live demonstrations of cognitive empathy and learn how understanding others accelerates performance. Attendees will leave with practical skills to apply across teams, departments, and all leadership levels.

  • People with empathetic leaders are three times more engaged, five times more likely to stay longer, and 61% more innovative. Empathy has evolved from a soft skill to a survival skill. In an AI-powered world, human understanding is the new differentiator. Source: Catalyst.

    • Understand the science of empathy and why it matters at work.

    • Use perspective-taking to strengthen workplace relationships.

    • Reimagine trust and empathy as performance accelerators.

    • Connect across hierarchy, function, and distance.

    • Use empathy to handle conflict in healthier, more productive ways.

  • A dynamic conversation where participants learn, test, and practice empathy. Through paired conversations and workplace scenarios, attendees apply perspective-switching techniques, learn actionable steps toward clarity, and practice different recognition approaches.
