081: How To Create A Happy Workplace With JoAnna Brandi

Whether intentional or by default, every organization has a set of values and shared behaviors commonly referred to as "culture". What is well-known is that positive cultures result in positive business results, and happy employees translate into happy customers. What is sometimes overlooked, however, is the mission-critical role that leaders must play in shaping positive culture in their organizations.In this episode, we meet Chief Happiness Officer JoAnna Brandi, whose training and coaching organization helps leaders improve employee engagement, positive company culture, and customer experiences.My favorite quotes from JoAnna Brandi (paraphrased):"Start thinking about happiness as the new productivity at work.""Sometimes you need a "power-pause" to reflect and fully understand the physiology of happiness.""We must practice appreciation every single day!""Positive Leadership is not merely the reverse of Negative Leadership. It requires its own focus.""Stop addressing only what's wrong about your people...seek out what's right about them!"You can reach JoAnna Brandi at:Website: https://www.returnonhappiness.com/12 Ways To Make Your Workplace A Happy Place: https://www.returnonhappiness.com/happyplace/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joannabrandi/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ReturnOnHappiness/Email: [email protected]
