Leading people can be tough. Balancing performance and support often feels like walking a tightrope. But when teams are happy, everything changes — energy rises, collaboration flows, and results follow naturally.

In Happiness is a Serious Business, I share the evidence that happy teams aren’t just nicer to lead — they’re more creative, stable, and productive. Drawing on data from thousands of teams, I’ll show how small, consistent actions — regular check-ins, honest conversations, and shared appreciation — build the trust and connection that make work both easier and more effective.

This session invites leaders to see happiness not as a soft extra, but as a serious driver of success — a way to reduce stress, strengthen teams, and create workplaces where people truly thrive.
