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.

In today’s high-stakes leadership landscape, the ability to build trust, foster collaboration, and navigate complex human dynamics is more than a soft skill — it’s a strategic advantage. This session explores how relational intelligence — the intentional cultivation of trust, empathy, and psychological safety — can be a powerful lever for sustainable leadership and organisational success. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, social psychology, and high-performing teams, we will unpack the science behind connection and share actionable strategies to enhance collaboration.

Whether you are leading through complexity, preparing the next generation, or building a culture of belonging and accountability, this session offers the insights and tools to help you lead with both clarity and care.

If speed without direction isn’t progress, why are we still racing? Burnout is not a badge of honour, and disconnection — from ourselves, each other, and the planet — is unsustainable. It’s time to challenge the culture of hustle and ask what truly matters.

This robust conversation brings together bold voices from business and psychology to reimagine organisations, communities, and futures that put people at the centre. Together, we’ll explore why collaboration beats competition in navigating complexity, how systems thinking can redesign work and leadership, and what it takes to replace exhaustion with cultures of care, connection, and regenerative impact.

What if you could dismantle the systems that drain us and design a future where people and purpose flourish side by side? In collaboration with The School of Positive Psychology (TSPP) Impact Lab 5, is a call to pause, reflect, and reimagine what truly matters. Bringing together thought leaders, changemakers, and practitioners from across sectors, we will explore how compassion, collaboration, and systems thinking can transform the way we lead, work, and live. More than resilience, this is about redesigning cultures and economies so wellbeing becomes the foundation — charting a path from exhaustion toward clarity, care, and collective impact.

Family offices are uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of impact investing—blending legacy, values, and capital to create lasting change. Yet many families still treat impact as a side initiative, rather than an integrated architecture of their investment strategy.

In this training and workshop session, led by the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) the team brings together family principals, next-gen leaders, and advisors to explore how to embed impact into the very core of governance, capital allocation, and measurement practices. Through collaborative design challenges, participants will co-create strategies for aligning family values with investment theses, activating diverse capital tools, and defining metrics that reflect both purpose and performance. By moving from intention to allocation, families can ensure their legacy is not only preserved but actively shaping a well-being economy for generations to come.

This is a fourth session of a four-session series.

This final chapter builds on the morning panel and place-based sessions to co-design a Singapore-based blended finance platform aimed at mobilising capital to transform Asia’s economic systems.

Drawing on insights from nature restoration and place-based investing, participants will explore how philanthropic, public, and private capital can be combined to finance well-being economies—absorbing risk, stabilising markets, and enabling investment in regenerative value chains. Through interactive design sprints, the session will examine governance models, capital stack structures, and MRV (measurement, reporting, and verification) systems to support equitable, nature-positive growth.

Participants will work collaboratively to co-create a foundational roadmap for launching the platform, complete with actionable strategies for aligning capital flows with ecological resilience, community prosperity, and long-term market health.

This in the third session of a four-session series.

This interactive workshop builds on the morning panel discussion by taking participants into Indonesia as a living laboratory for regenerative local economies. Using SecondMuse’s Economic Design and Development Tool (EDDT), it will explore how place-based investing can connect biodiversity protection with sustainable livelihoods and inclusive economic growth.

Participants will engage in collaborative mapping, apply the EDDT framework across different landscapes, and examine how strategic capital deployment can generate mutual ecological, social, and commercial value. The workshop will also focus on identifying scalable solution pathways, co-designing procurement strategies, and establishing KPIs that align financial returns with nature-positive, community-centred outcomes.

By the end, attendees will gain actionable insights and tools to invest in place—transforming landscapes into engines of regenerative prosperity while safeguarding ecosystems and communities.

This is the second session of a four-session series.

As nature degradation accelerates and institutions rethink their role in shaping a well-being economy, a new frontier is emerging: mutual value creation through nature restoration. This 40-minute dialogue brings together key leaders to explore how protecting nature is not only a moral imperative—but a strategic one.

Drawing from experience across corporate value chains, philanthropic capital, and ecological science, the conversation will spotlight how regenerative investments can align stakeholder interests, build resilient markets, and co-create shared prosperity. They will equip participants with a robust understanding of mutual value creation, from theory to market applications, enabling them to integrate purpose, ecosystem thinking, and outcome-linked procurement strategies within their organisations and investments.

This session also sets the stage for workshop sessions which will happen after this dialogue. Together, we ask: What does it take to make restoration not just viable—but vital for business, communities, and the planet?

How do you align personal purpose with intentional action? This programme, co-designed by Barclays and CSP Singapore, supports impact-curious wealth holders through a mix of workshops, peer dialogue, and real-world stories.

While clarity of purpose is essential, many wealth holders face real emotional and structural challenges when moving from intent to action. In this phase, participants will examine the barriers that often hold them back—from fear of judgment and family dynamics to lack of know-how and siloed systems. In a safe and supportive environment, the programme guides them to name these obstacles and begin developing strategies to overcome them. Participants will also explore entry points into purposeful wealth deployment, including small capital allocations, collaborative initiatives, and cross-generational engagement.

Ultimately, this series offers a structured yet personal entry point into the world of purposeful wealth stewardship, helping participants align their capital, relationships, and influence with their deeper purpose.

As the boundaries between philanthropic intent and institutional strategy blur, family capital is increasingly stepping into roles once held by large foundations and multilateral agencies. More than just financial contributors, family offices bring long-term vision, intergenerational values, and the agility to take risks that institutional players often avoid. This session will explore how family capital can match, complement, and even redefine the role of institutional capital in advancing catalytic philanthropy.

Featuring insights from pioneering foundations, family offices, and institutional investors, including a keynote contribution, the discussion will highlight models where family capital has driven systemic transformation—from education to climate resilience and social equity. It will examine how family offices can evolve beyond funders to become field builders, mobilising blended finance, co-creating with communities, and influencing policy change.
