Information on the session & skill:

Join organisational psychologists and LSE alumni Sallyann and Julienne to explore the rewards and risks of pursuing meaningful work. This interactive workshop will reveal insights from their journey around the world to meet trailblazing social entrepreneurs, as well as practical tools for balancing personal wellbeing with social impact. A must for millennials in search of more than money from their careers. In collaboration with the LSE Annual Fund.

Julienne & Sallyann met while pursuing a masters in Organisational & Social Psychology at the London School of Economics. Julienne was a former edtech entrepreneur from Stanford who built and sold her startup ClassOwl, while Sallyann was a global product designer for The Body Shop whose products are now in 69 countries worldwide. Through a joint thesis project, they spent a year interviewing 40 world-leading entrepreneurs to understand how businesses are creating a better world.
