About this session
Dr. David Naylor’s recent sessions on silencing gave us lots of powerful insights, but the real work starts when we put those ideas into practice.
This October, we invite you to move from theory to action. Join us in a collective exploration of what happens next. We’ll focus on how we are learning to speak up, listen more deeply, and help others do the same.
This will be an interactive and reflective session designed for shared learning. It’s a safe space to share your stories, challenges, and successes – no matter how small they may feel. Your experience is the most important part of the conversation.

The Joy in Work Curiosity Collective
Do you find implementing Joy in Work a challenge? Are you unsure where to start? Or, have you implemented Joy in Work for your team already and want to share your experiences? If so, the Joy in Work Curiosity Collective is for you!
Join Julia Wood and John Rouse for monthly virtual 45 minute discussions aimed at navigating the challenges of implementing and sustaining Joy in Work.
During each session we’ll leverage our collective brain power to tackle complex issues and questions surrounding Joy in Work. These discussions could make all the difference between implementing and sustaining a successful Joy in Work project and one which leaves you wondering where things went wrong.
In this session, you will guide the selection of topics which means that the content is tailored to your challenges and draws upon your experiences.
Join the Improving Joy in Work online group
The Joy in Work Curiosity Collective sessions are part of the Improving Joy in Work online group.
