Setup
How do we create a culture that brings out the best in our personal and professional lives? Rituals are powerful tools for building a culture that better aligns your values and priorities with your everyday practices. Our work shows how rituals help people bridge transitions, get to flow, deal with conflict, and increase bonding. In this session, we’ll share some of the insights from our work, and scope out some culture experiments to run — harnessing the patterns of rituals to think about lightweight, bottom-up ways to build better ways of meaning-making. Stick around after the event for a book signing with Kürşat Özenç and Margaret Hagan.
