Thriving vs Surviving – Make the Right Choice

In this engaging, fun, and interactive session, participants will explore the powerful difference between thriving and merely surviving in their roles as educational leaders. Every school year here in Quebec brings unique challenges, pressures, and unexpected turns. However, Amen believes thriving is not simply a matter of circumstance, it is a MINDSET and a deliberate choice.

Through a blend of reflection, exciting movement-based activities, and collaborative discussion,  participants will experience how and why a thriving mindset must be supported by aligned actions. Saying “I choose to thrive” is not enough; our choices must show up in how we lead, connect, and respond to challenges each day.

Amen Iseghohi is a revolutionary entrepreneur, mindset specialist coach, keynote speaker, and author whose life story continues to inspire business leaders, educators, health enthusiasts, athletes, and philanthropists around the world. He is the creator and founder of T.H.I.S 360 S.E.L, a social-emotional learning program designed to nurture self-confidence, self-esteem, and physical well-being in schools.

Born in Belgium, raised and educated in London, England, Amen was sent at the age of eight to live with his grandmother in West Africa. It was within this deeply cultural and spiritual landscape that he learned the life lessons that continue to shape his philosophy and message today.

Amen is also the author of EMPOWERED, his latest release that shares a transformative guide to reclaiming inner strength, purpose, and clarity in a world of constant distraction. His voice and presence have reached audiences globally, from classrooms to corporations, encouraging individuals to rise above limitations and lead with purpose.

In February 2020, Amen was invited twice by the United Nations to help lead a workshop on “Breaking Hate,” a defining milestone in his career. His life journey—from Africa to Europe to North America—offers a riveting perspective that continues to motivate people to live with intention and courage.
