Everyone wants to be happy. The science of happiness delves into the significant health benefits of plain old happiness and the impact improved health has on a business' bottom line. A recent Harvard Business Review states, "A bonded group is one that performs well, as our colleague Fabio Sala has shown in his research. He found that top-performing leaders elicited laughter from their subordinates three times as often, on average, as did midperforming leaders. Being in a good mood, other research finds, helps people take in information effectively and respond nimbly and creatively. In other words, laughter is serious business."

Participants will spend the workshop learning about happiness, feeling happy, and practicing exercises designed to spread the happiness throughout the workplace. This workshop is guaranteed to leave you feeling uplifted and ready to spread the joy to your co-workers.

Employees report that "ego" has caused significant problems and cost companies thousands of dollars due to lost revenues and wasted resources. The Ego Diet workshop lays out what are healthy ways to nurture your ego and what are unhealthy "junk food" for your ego. We'll walk through the "Ego Food Pyramid" describing how to practice a well balanced feast of exercises and practices that are designed to increase your healthy presence and sense of self. We also discuss how to avoid "ego junk food binges". First you have to recognize you're on the prowl for junk food, such as seeking praise, or competing to be seen as best or better than others. Next, you have to go through an intervention to stop your mind from "porking out" on these non-nutritious thoughts.

Participants will leave with their own unique ego nutrition plan.

How engaged our your employees? Research shows that teams who have highly engaged employees are 43% more productive than teams who have dis-engaged employees. There are six key motivational drivers that impact an employee's level of engagement. This workshop reviews those motivational drivers and how supervisors have the greatest impact on productive employees are. Participants engage in several small group exercises designed to help them identify how to use the motivational drivers in their own worksites. Students will leave the workshop with a clear plan for igniting their employee's energy and increasing productivity in their teams.
