Happiness for Better Business Results – Isabel Odlin

"We not only need to work happy, we need to work at being happy." I love that quote by Shawn Achor.

So how are you working at that?

The Alliance of Independent Agencies have teamed up with Google to host an event that is dedicated to culture and high performance.

They recognise that leaders are navigating a rapid pace of change; the way people work has fundamentally changed. That's not just about where and when we work, but the types of activities that are ultimately draining our energy and sense of wellbeing.

And that presents a challenge for leaders and managers looking to engage their people.

Their Festival of Happiness is all about creating the right culture for high performance through a focus on happy people. And that's what Isabel Odlin and I discuss today.

I'll be one of the live podcasters and part of a panel discussion on the day, so come and say hello!
