In this talk, we’ll explore these three beautiful (and crazy-making) concepts, two from Japan and one from South Africa. These are concepts that I’ve been exploring personally for years, in fact, every morning I remind myself of them and what they mean for how I will live my day.

How will each little tasks ladder up to my big reasons for living?

How can I provide value to others, making them successful? How can I focus on collaboration, not competition?

How can I continuously improve myself, while still appreciating where I am now?

‍

This all sounds pretty philosophical and fluffy, but I promise—this talk will give actionable and practical strategies to optimize a wonderful-yet-often-confusing life at the top of Maslow’s pyramid.
