Personal Details

Bio

For many, work is about surviving versus thriving, but it doesn't have to be that way.

What if you could apply some simple daily practices that support creativity and innovation at work? I teach leaders how to radically shift culture so that people can flourish.

I founded and led The Better Workplace Conference (BWC) for 17 years (1997-2013). This was a powerful initiative that created a whole generation of workplace health professionals and a huge community of practice. I have since synthesized the inspiring work that was shared at this think tank on organizational health and use this rich body of knowledge in my speaking, writing, coaching and consulting.

My book "A Better Place to Work: Daily Practices that Transform Culture" (released in 2018) draws upon this advice from business and organizational health experts, and will inspire you to become positively deviant at work. This requires learning how to disrupt downward spirals with practices that create environments where people, teams and organizations can flourish.

I research the latest breakthroughs in organizational health around the globe, and use the power of transformational questions to engage people in building a foundation for wellness, success and innovation, where productivity and creativity soar.

Ignite Positivity! Workplace Practices That Transform Culture

For many, work is about surviving, versus thriving. It doesn’t have to be that way. The latest research on positive psychology and brain science shows us that by simply increasing the positive emotion in our workplace, people begin to flourish. To flourish means to be more resilient, engaged, creative, innovative and to see more possibilities. Is your culture one that supports people to flourish and to contribute all they have to offer?

Deborah will teach you how to kick-start the positive practices that will build a positive people culture at work. She will share some of the key insights from her recent book: A Better Place to Work: Daily Practices that Transform Culture, as it relates to building positivity and rerelates to building positivity and resilience in the workplace. This involves learning how to be mindful, how to move from vicious cycles to resilient cycles, how to practice gratitude, and other practices and habits that increase positivity and flourishing.
