Good Talk Collective - What Keeps You Going?

In a world that’s always asking us to do more and go faster, sometimes the bravest thing we can do is pause.

At this Good Talk, we’re pressing pause to ask a simple, powerful question: What keeps you going?

We’ll reflect on the rituals, relationships, values, and moments of joy that help us weather hard times. Whether you’re in a tough season or just need a reminder of what grounds you, this conversation is for you.

Join us as we explore questions like:

✨ What helps you feel like yourself again when things are hard?
✨ How do you reconnect with meaning when you're feeling untethered?
✨ What small rituals or habits sustain your well-being?
✨ Who and what remind you that you’re not alone?

Perfect for year-end reflection, this Good Talk offers a moment to pause, take stock, and breathe. Let’s remind each other what matters. We can’t wait to see you there.

What's included:

• Some top lessons and strategies on the topic
• Snacks, sweets and non-alcoholic bevvies 
• Facilitated discussion and networking opportunities with other community leaders, movers and shakers
• A set of conversation cards to support you when reflecting on this topic (on your own or in conversation)

What to expect: 

This immersive, highly-participatory, in-person event will equip you with tangible tools and connect you with others thinking about how they show up in the world!

Doors open at 6:30 for socializing and snacks. Program will start at 7:00.

About us

We host these Good Talks because we believe that more conversations – about the things that connect us as well as divide us – can truly change the world. Through these conversations, we tap into the collective wisdom of those in the room, allowing us to not only share our stories but to listen deeply to others. It's in these moments of connection that we find empathy, understanding, and the courage to tackle the challenges we face, both individually and as a community. This process helps us lead more authentically in our homes, workplaces, and communities, fostering growth and collaboration in all areas of life.

We believe conversation is the key to building communities where everyone can thrive, feel a sense of belonging and be resilient during challenging times. Visit us at www.goodtalkcollective.ca
