Come join us at our next SUFP event at Ebay in New York City! We will be focusing on "Ambition and the Art of Happiness" with a panel of some of our top past speakers – specifically those involved in coaching and transforming others and organizations. Ambition is the catalyst for pursuing your passions but it often causes stress and unhappiness when things don't go as planned. How do we reconcile pursuing our ambitions yet be happy at the same time? We will be exploring these topics as well as hearing from 3 special storytellers. You'll leave with a good dose of inspiration by the end of the evening. Come with your questions for the Q&A!

Jon Hall
For the past 18 years Jon Hall has been thinking about how to quantify national progress and how to ensure the numbers influence government thinking. His 2002 work for the Australian Government on Measuring Australia’s Progress won a national award there as the “smartest” social project of the year, with one journalist describing it as coming “as close to the meaning of life as any statistician can get”. From 2005 – 2009 he led a project at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris promoting similar ideas around the world and now works for the United Nations Development Programme here in New York. He has spoken about measuring wellbeing and happiness in some 50 countries and in 2013 was one of ten “global opinion leaders” to meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel to discuss wellbeing and government policy. A big piece of his own personal happiness comes from looking for rare animals around the planet. His website www.mammalwatching.com is the hub of the growing mammal watching community.
