Can I give purpose to my work?
How to find a job in harmony with my values

Then in 3 rounds of 30 minutes around the questions:
Work with meaning: what does that mean in concrete terms? (how I measure it)
How do I find a job that is "resonant" with me?
How to give meaning to my collaborators / my team?

15 minutes restitution
- Digital Detox : Conference around the theme "disconnect to better reconnect" with a testimony. Since screens have arrived in our lives, the same conviction has driven Virginie Boutin: we must regulate our relationship with digital to preserve the magic of our thinking.
During this masterclass, she offers you a 4-step disconnection:
- Why it's normal to be so attracted to screens / digital
- Why it is so important to regulate our uses, what we gain from doing it
- Sorting out the chaff: becoming aware of what is beneficial or not in our uses
- A series of solutions among which to draw
This workshop will be in English and on-line.

- From 7:30 p.m. to 8:00p.m: Jacques Vigne and Célya Gruson-Daniel
Jacques Vigne: Meditation: what effects known and recognized by the cognitive and medical sciences? Where do these meditative practices come from (traditional meditations to secular meditation)? What precautions should be taken with regard to these practices?
Célya Gruson-Daniel: What is the MBSR / MBCT? Why is meditation associated with the idea of well-being today? What links with emotions to “take care of others”?
- From 8:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m .: Marion Genaivre

Arnaud Complainville: How are these mindfulness practices today addressed in the business world (leardership dev, management)? For what uses? What roles do cognitive sciences take to develop / legitimize these practices?

- From 8.45 p.m. to 9:00 p.m .: Alexandre Berkesse
Why such an echo of this discourse and these practices today? What can we learn from a cross perspective on the reflections tackled from a conception of the mind as distributed through the social?
