Top 10 energisers for your corporate event

Adjiedj Bakas - The Happynomy

Trends for the new year and the search for the economics of happiness, or Happynomy. Standard lecture or customisation possible, act can last 30, 45 or 60 minutes. VJ-style infotainment, with plenty of humour. Also interacts with audience. There is also a separate lecture on The Future of Care, and there are industry lectures for construction, finance, government, healthcare and education. A lecture by freethinker Adjiedj Bakas is an experience. He brings people hope and comfort. Anyone who has experienced him at an event can relate to that. The content of his story is optimistic, visionary and popular-scientific. Since only the form makes the content something compelling, the packaging of the message has also been given due attention. Bakas is exuberant, and with his energetic performances and flamboyant tie-dies, he is the personification of the positive. GeenStijl calls him ‘the bird of paradise who is often right’ and former Rabo CEO Wiebe Draijer says: ‘he inspires and is very often right’. Adjiedj Bakas not only provides fully customised lectures, but also a number of ready-made lectures suitable for events that do not require customisation. Book Adjiedj Bakas The Happynomy here.
