“Wonderful session, thank you!“
– Audience comments after the session
As a global war correspondent, Muhammad Lila has seen the worst of humanity up close. But something shifted during his time reporting from war zones. He began experimenting with sharing stories of hope and resilience, and the response was extraordinary. This gave rise to Goodable: a media platform dedicated to positive storytelling that has reached over 1 billion people.
From surviving war zones to building one of the fastest-growing positive news platforms in the world, Muhammad Lila shows how kindness is more than a feel-good gesture. He inspires audiences to recognize the small shifts that create extraordinary change to fuel stronger collaboration, clarity, and organizational growth.
We hope Muhammad’s powerful story from war correspondent to wellness tech founder leaves you feeling inspired for what’s possible.
🔑 Key highlights from this session include:
✓ The Hidden Cost of The Negativity Epidemic
The average person consumes 2.5 hours of negative content daily.
Combined with the fact that 41% of the global workforce struggles with anxiety, depression, or chronic stress – resulting in 12 billion lost workdays and $1 trillion in lost productivity annually – constant exposure to negativity is impacting employee engagement and workplace morale.
✓ Human-Centered Leadership: Why Empathy Matters
Kindness compounds – it never contracts. Unlike stress or negativity, kindness always spreads forward. It’s the most reliable “investment” leaders can make in their people, supporting lower absenteeism, higher retention, and more antifragile teams.
✓ The Power of Positive Storytelling
Shifting focus from problems to solutions and highlighting “heroes” creates hope and motivation. For example, changing a headline from “Man charged with assault” to “Woman rescued by hero on SkyTrain” transforms despair into inspiration. In the workplace, this looks like reframing narratives around daily communications, project outcomes, and team dynamics.
