We had Amy as a guest speaker at our annual kick off meeting for staff. She was a fantastic addition to our program. She spoke for an hour, was engaging the entire time and had insightful stories to share. She had such an impact that when the event ended we had staff eager to speak with her further one on one.
Michelle Gielan’s buoyant, poignant, and uplifting message was the cornerstone of our entire three-day event. Michelle’s warm, inclusive, and elegantly polished delivery brought our group of 200 into her enchanting inner circle. Our group includes data geeks, research nerds, and senior business executives…a diverse group that expects that theory is backed by proof. Michelle and her message not only resonated, but also transformed our audience to adopt the challenge of radiating happiness. Including Michelle Gielan in an event is to ensure happier, more productive, more successful outcomes for your group.
“In Ripple’s Effect, a story for children teaches that a gesture as simple as a smile can have a profound effect on others.”
“Just read Ripple’s Effect to two classes at my kid’s school and did the smile exercise. Of course, all the kids ended up laughing and their challenge today is to smile at three people (not in their class). I expect to see a big ripple effect and many smiling, happy people around the neighborhood today!!!! Thanks Shawn for helping me create a positive Ripple!!!”
Shawn Achor, one of our greatest positive psychologists for the workplace, has done it again. With his characteristic blend of academic rigor and twinkle in the eye, in “Before Happiness” Achor delivers a book that will change your view of happiness, of reality — and of yourself.
In this remarkable book, one of the leading thinkers in the field of positive psychology digs deep into the science to find practical techniques for unleashing your genius for happiness. So forget about cheap gimmicks and gooey affirmations. Instead, listen to Shawn Achor — and prepare to take notes!
“This was amazing! A must-do for any employee, it will motivate you in the workplace and outside!”
“I had a co-worker that I made a habit of avoiding… it finally got to the point that we could not effectively work together. I decided at that point to focus on what I could do to make relations better, going out of my way to know more about my co-worker. I started to see their point of view, which led to barriers breaking down. Now we have a strong relationship that has led to more success for both of us.”
“While we can’t say exactly how much yet, we definitely attribute part of our success to the Orange Frog training. We now celebrate the power of social scripts we believe in as an organization. They come alive generating stronger relationships internally and with our customers, too. Our positive behaviors have facilitated positive results. The Happiness Advantage/Orange Frog Workshop has given everyone a framework of seven different methods to generate positive impacts and take change head-on.”
“(After the workshop) There has been a healthy mindset shift among our staff away from the ‘chain of command way of thinking.’ A lot of us used to feel like we had to wait for changes to come from the top and eventually trickle down to us. Now we have more of an empowerment mentality and we’ve learned to meet change head on with a positive mindset.”
