In today’s volatile workplace of burnout, uncertainty, and rapid change, resilience alone is not enough. This session explores self-compassion as a form of Mental Fortitude—a strategic capability grounded in psychological science and real-world organisational practice.

Far from a feel-good concept, mental fortitude drives performance, clarity, and sustainable leadership. Hiroshi Limmell, award-winning wellbeing leader at A*STAR, shares how self-compassion reduces self-sabotage, improves emotional regulation, and fosters healthier work relationships, especially during failure or complexity.

Through high-pressure case stories, cross-sector insights, and workplace-ready tools, participants will gain practical ways to embed mental fortitude into leadership, teams, and talent strategies—building cultures where people feel safe to learn, innovate, and thrive.
