In a time when industries are shifting overnight, jobs are vanishing without warning, and uncertainty hangs in every inbox, resilience is no longer optional—it’s essential
. Yet the usual prescriptions, such as cognitive reframing and grit, can feel mentally exhausting, especially when people are already stretched thin. And while tools like mindfulness and meditation have value, many simply don’t have the time or energy to take on another self-improvement task.
In this transformative keynote, bestselling author and workplace wellness expert Laura Zam introduces a bold, science-backed approach to navigating volatility: everyday pleasure
. Not escapism, but focused, enjoyable rituals—like savoring a morning cup of coffee—that build on things people already do. With small adjustments, these practices help individuals stay grounded, emotionally agile, and connected, even amidst chaos.
Drawing from her mother’s story of surviving Auschwitz by holding fast to moments of pleasure
—and grounded in research from 
neuroscience and positive psychology
—Laura shares practical tools that help audiences disarm stress, recover from upheaval, and regain a sense of purpose. Whether leading teams through change or rebuilding after a layoff, 
attendees will leave with simple strategies that make a profound impact.
With warmth and clarity, this talk delivers more than inspiration. 
It offers a mindset shift
—turning everyday joy into a strategic advantage. Attend this keynote if 
you need more than motivation.
 You need a path forward. Light refreshments will be served.

United States Capitol

Historic buildings

生长在海边的果果

The Capitol building needs to make an appointment to buy tickets in advance to visit. Arrive on time according to the requirements. There are many people. Be sure to have an advance amount to not affect the itinerary. You can make an appointment for a Chinese tour in advance. Although it is a Chinese tour, it is also a foreigner tour guide who speaks English and uses a translator to translate it into Chinese to play it for us. It is very interesting. The interior of the Capitol is also very good from the perspective of the building itself. You must explain it when you go in and visit.

National Mall

The National Mall is a must-check-in place for Washington tourism. One is the Lincoln Memorial and the other is the Washington Monument. There is a pool of water between them and green spaces on both sides. There are monuments such as the Victory Memorial of World War II, the Vietnam War and other monuments, and the Jefferson Memorial. The beautiful cherry blossoms of the annual Washington Cherry Blossom Festival are also in full bloom around this area. We arrived in Washington at the end of April. It is a pity that the cherry blossoms have been lost and have not left a trace. I can only imagine that the scene of blooming must be beautiful.

The White House

泰迪小熊

Came on September 22, 2017. I heard that the White House has not been open to the public since 911, and we can only look far outside the fence when we go, so the White House has become a boring landmark, taking a photo of the tourists who &ldquo;come here&rdquo; to check in. There is a big pine tree on the south side of the White House, and I didn&rsquo;t expect it to be a &ldquo;landmark&rdquo; and a &ldquo;national Christmas tree&rdquo;... Well, it seems that you should pick Christmas to visit.

[Cost-effective] 24 hours free opening, although we went to 6 o&#39;clock, but winter ❄️ dark early. But the momentum is still the same. But how do you feel that Taipei&#39;s Zhongzheng Memorial Hall and Lincoln Memorial Hall are so similar! [View] Needless to say, the atmosphere is magnificent! Facing the Washington Monument! At this time, I suddenly remembered that Chairman Mao&#39;s poem &quot;Jiangshan so many beautiful, attracted countless heroes to fold!

Washington Monument

铨上风满楼
