In today’s always-on world, leaders are expected to deliver extraordinary results while navigating uncertainty, burnout, and constant change. Yet many continue to operate under an outdated assumption: work hard now, enjoy life later.

In this inspiring Book Talk, Bose Akadiri — author, corporate trainer, and Founder of Goal and Grind — introduces a different leadership philosophy. Drawing from her new book, The Stay Joyful Method, Bose makes the business case for joy as a competitive advantage, demonstrating how purpose, optimism, and intentional leadership drive stronger teams, better decision-making, deeper relationships, and sustainable performance. Rather than treating joy as a personal luxury, leaders will explore how it can become a strategic asset — for themselves, their organizations, and the communities they serve.
