Find Your Imperfect Happy

In the relentless pursuit of business excellence, it’s easy to overlook the crucial role happiness plays in organizational success. But let’s not dismiss it as mere sentimentality; happiness directly impacts the bottom line. Research demonstrates that happier leaders cultivate more engaged and productive teams. Happier employees aren’t just more satisfied—they’re more efficient, innovative, and resilient in the face of challenges. But how can employees lean into happiness in their everyday work and life, even when things aren’t going as they had hoped? This isn’t about feel-good initiatives; it’s about strategic investment in your company’s most valuable asset: its people. Kristel’s keynote offers actionable strategies rooted in empirical evidence to elevate employee happiness and, by extension, organizational performance.
