In Joy

In 2023, a client emailed to ask if I could create a workshop on professional joy using Appreciative Inquiry. My answer was an immediate yes. I designed the one-day Professional Joy workshop, delivered it for their organization, and then, since it was their idea, asked if I could offer it more widely through my company. They agreed without hesitation and it’s now one of the core workshops you’ll see on my website.

When I was planning the women’s retreat in October, I knew my contribution would be about personal joy. A few weeks later, I adapted that same content for a workshop with teachers.

I’ve realised I am being consistently pulled toward joy: developing joy sessions, exploring joy at work and in life and helping people give themselves permission to experience it.

So, I’ve chosen JOY as my word for 2026. I’ll be creating more workshops, conversations and experiences around this theme.

Below, you’ll find a short survey. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts. Your input will shape the joy-focused offerings I create in the year ahead.

If you’re curious and want to go deeper, a few months ago I wrote a blog post about joy. I invite you to pause, reflect and, most of all, make space for more joy in your  life. Let’s be in joy together.

When you have a minute, tell me what brings you joy.

Thank you for being here. I’m glad we’re connected.

With gratitude,

Aderonke
