Joelle Kaufman

In the AI era, teams are more productive and more alone than ever, and that disconnection quietly erodes performance, retention, and creativity. Joelle Kaufman shows leaders their most underused lever: happiness tripwires, small, deliberately planted moments of connection that anticipate a need and fire automatically. This is not a feel-good talk. It's a business case, backed by hard numbers: the most connected teams post 18% higher sales, 23% more profit, and 50% less turnover. Audiences don't just hear the science; they feel it, in a live exercise where the whole room's stress visibly drops on cue. They leave with a simple, three-step tool they can use Monday morning to build the connection that makes people sell more, stay longer, and perform under pressure.
