Vision & positioning

Who takes care of those who lead?

A first in MoroccoBridging business and wellbeingAn annual gathering

According to the World Health Organization, 15% of working-age adults were living with a mental disorder in 2019. Depression and anxiety lead to an estimated 12 billion working days lost every year, costing nearly one trillion US dollars.[1]

Yet leaders, whose decisions affect entire teams, rarely talk about it. On International Men's Day, Leading Well opens this conversation with leaders, employers and experts.

SDG 3 · Target 3.4

“By 2030, […] promote mental health and well-being.”[2]

Panel · Entrepreneurs & students“Losing a deal doesn't mean losing everything”

A lost deal, a failed exam, a project that stops: for young men, failure is often lived in silence, as if it questioned their worth. Entrepreneurs and students share their setbacks, the pressure they feel and how they learned to bounce back. An honest conversation to remind us that we are more than what we achieve, and that taking care of our mental health is part of the journey.
