Cultivating Presence & Connection at Roche Diagnostics Annual Cycle

The challenge

During Roche Diagnostics’ Annual Cycle, the company invited us to design and deliver an in-person keynote for the entire team, along with managers from across Europe. The purpose was to create a shared space for reflection, appreciation, and grounded presence - a moment to pause, reconnect, and align before stepping into the next phase of growth.

Objectives

• To cultivate awareness and presence amid ongoing change

• To acknowledge and appreciate collective and personal achievements

• To strengthen connection, focus, and inner balance

• To inspire grounded optimism for the year ahead

The experience

The interactive keynote, “Finding Our Center”, guided participants through a journey of reconnection—from reflection to appreciation, and from stillness to forward vision. Through short experiential exercises, mindful pauses, and guided visualization, participants explored what it means to lead with presence, stay centered under pressure, and act from a place of calm clarity. The session blended lightness with depth, creating an atmosphere of authenticity and shared humanity.

Methodology

The keynote drew on practices of mindfulness, embodiment, and reflective dialogue, inviting participants to slow down and connect to their physical and emotional center. Interactive moments encouraged personal insight and collective reflection, while visualization exercises helped the group envision the future with clarity and intention.

The impact

The keynote brought the Roche Diagnostics community together in a moment of presence, gratitude, and renewal. Participants left with a deeper sense of calm focus and appreciation—grounded, connected, and ready to move forward with awareness and purpose.
