This talk is designed for elevating the people mastery of leaders today. They will learn how to inspire people to higher levels of innovation, natural productivity, and loyalty by moving the hearts of their people. We will apply people centric strategies to maximize the happiness, joy and contentment of the workforce and to dramatically impact employee and family well-being. This program was originally built at the request of senior leadership at Google and Cisco Systems as they wanted a vehicle to bring humanity back to business and to create the happiest, most productive workplace on Earth. It has been installed at many companies and also top business schools across the country.

The content features breakthrough thinking on maximizing happiness for yourself and for others. There is a subtle but monumental difference between good leaders and great leaders. Good leaders focus on and impact the professional well- being of those they lead. Great leaders go beyond and are able to dramatically impact the personal well- being of their people. Good leaders move people on the job, great leaders move people well beyond the job and even for life.

We focus in three areas. The first is to look at the current workforce landscape and why companies now are focusing on the feelings and emotions of their people and recognize that they are the true source of innovation, stress reduction, loyalty and productivity. We will look at companies that have happiness initiatives and the effect on bottom line results. Secondly we will learn and apply the top approaches to elevating happiness in the workplace and attendees will build action plans to apply these concepts directly to their own teams. Lastly, we will look at how to maximize the happiness, joy and contentment in the leaders themselves placing them in the best position to lead their people through maximizing their own personal well-being.
