The Unhappiness Epidemic™
WORKSHOP DETAILS
The Unhappiness Epidemic™
Restore joy, motivation, and connection in your leadership culture.
Studies show more than 66% of employees are disengaged at work and do not feel a sense of belonging. Whether consciously or subconsciously, people decide how much they will give based on how they are treated. Employee engagement and productivity have decreased, while employee disengagement and unhappiness have increased, resulting in a significant imbalance in most organizations. Many employees feel that things are done to them, rather than with them. In this workshop, leaders learn how to rebalance their organization, re-engage their staff to get them back in the game, and identify the enabling conditions needed to reduce the variabilities that impede achievement.Â

I like getting more info rather than talking with people near us because I feel like presenters sometimes use that for filler, but I appreciate that you did not do that. You kept it pretty minimal so you could share info with us. You were respectful of our time.

Mindsets & Undercurrents™
WORKSHOP DETAILS
Mindsets & Undercurrents™
What behaviors require your attention the most?
The culture of any organization is the collective behavior of its leaders and their confidence in their ability to overcome the odds. We invite leaders to look beneath the surface of self, staff, and student behaviors to uncover the hidden beliefs, norms, and systemic pressures that shape them. Through storytelling, reflection, and practical tools, leadership teams learn how to identify, address, and shift the influential undercurrents that show up in the workplace—and how to reframe them to foster trust, inclusion, and deeper engagement.
*In Person, Virtual, and Online Options*

WORKSHOPÂ INCLUDES:
- Resources to identify and address the archetypes that shape your organization's culture.
- Participant Planning Guide
Being able to reflect and reviewing the items from the mindsets and undercurrents book helped me rethink and reshape my leadership style and values to create a more cohesive team
