'Less is Beautiful' explores how our abundance of products, services, and information can overwhelm us, leading to stress, burnout, and less focus on what truly matters. While many individuals embrace simpler living, there are few examples of how professionals and organizations can adopt this mindset in daily practice.

This workshop shares inspiring examples across industries and introduces three principles to experience ‘less is more’: start to stop, simplify, and let go. You'll gain insights into the paradox of choice, the pursuit of efficiency, and practical tools to apply 'Less is Beautiful' in your professional life.
