To be frank, while I had originally signed up to “participate” in the session I was so busy on Friday that I tuned in to have it as background noise. Within the first five minutes, I was so blown away by what you were saying that I sat with rapt attention for the duration.

Thank you for the very inspiring speech<br>you gave on Thursday at the Endeavor annual conference “Think Big” in Bogota. Like in my old school days, I used many pages writing ideas that I started applying them just the next day at work.

Keynote by Sunny Grosso:
The science of flourishing and why it's your most underutilized business strategy

Most organizations are chasing performance while quietly losing the people producing it. Burnout is rising. Engagement is falling. And the usual solutions – more programs, better perks, resilience training – aren't moving the needle. Because we've been solving the wrong problem. We've optimized for output and forgotten about the humans generating it.
In this science-backed, deeply human keynote, Sunny draws on positive psychology and over a decade of global experience to reframe what happiness at work actually means and why it matters more than most leaders realize. This isn't about being cheerful. It's about understanding the conditions that allow people to flourish to bring their whole selves, sustain their energy, find meaning, and genuinely connect.
Because when those conditions exist, performance doesn't have to be demanded. It becomes natural. Warm, interactive, and grounded in research, this talk shifts how leaders think about their people and what it actually takes to build workplaces where everyone can do their best work.
Audience Takeaways
Keynote by Sunny Grosso:
Organizations know wellbeing matters. They've seen the data, launched the programs, and rolled out the initiatives and still, 80% of workers are disengaged. The problem isn't awareness. It's execution. Leaders are trying to build thriving cultures without a real framework for doing it and the gap between knowing and doing is costing them productivity, innovation, and profit.
Drawing on 13 years as a founding member of Delivering Happiness and work inside 300+ organizations across the world's most turbulent periods, Sunny Grosso delivers the science, the frameworks, and the practical tools that transform wellbeing from a concept into a competitive edge. This isn't inspiration – it's infrastructure. Audiences leave with a clear understanding of why happiness drives performance, and exactly what to do about it starting Monday.

Organizations are investing in culture and still losing people. Not always to competitors, but to quiet disconnection. People are showing up physically but withdrawing emotionally. And when connection breaks down, so does everything built on top of it trust, creativity, risk-taking, performance. What we call disengagement is often disconnection.
In one of her most powerful and memorable keynotes, Sunny brings together neuroscience, positive psychology, and the extraordinary science of trees to show what real connection looks like – and what it does to people and organizations.
Just as trees in a forest are connected beneath the surface, feeding and sustaining each other in ways invisible above ground, humans need that same invisible infrastructure of connection to truly thrive. Sunny shows leaders how to build it and what happens when they do. Rich with interactive moments designed to make the science felt in the room, this talk creates a shared experience audiences don't forget.

The science behind change that sticks, teams that adapt, and results that last

AI is changing everything, how we work, how we lead, how we create value. And in the middle of that change, a quiet anxiety is spreading. What's left for humans to do? What makes us matter? Most organizations are racing to adopt new technology while unknowingly devaluing the very thing that makes them competitive their people's humanity.
In this timely, forward-thinking keynote, Sunny draws on the science of happiness and human flourishing to make a powerful case: the age of AI doesn't make the human elements of work less important. It makes them more important than ever.
What AI cannot do is belong, find meaning, build authentic trust, rebound from failure, or be genuinely, powerfully human. Sunny shows leaders and organizations how to lean into those capacities not as a defensive play, but as their greatest strategic advantage. This is the talk that reframes the AI conversation from threat to opportunity, with warmth, science, and real tools people can use.
