Loading player...
In a powerful session hosted by the Conscious LeadHERS Institute, four trailblazing women came together to unpack The State of Happiness in our lives and workplaces.

Meet the Panel:
Carmen Murray (PGDip) – Marketing Leader & Future Readiness Expert
Dharshni Padayachee CA(SA) MPhil – DEI Champion & Executive Leader
Shaleenah Marie – Learning & Development Trailblazer
Christyl Potgieter – Tech Leader & Impact Strategist

Together, they interrogated how happiness is showing up (or being suppressed) in professional spaces, the hidden blockers holding us back, and why emotional wellbeing can no longer be treated as a ‘nice-to-have.’ The conversation offered bold insights, honest reflections, and actionable strategies for leaders, brands, and individuals looking to cultivate joy, purpose, and true belonging in a rapidly changing world.
