The Happiness Formula, Built for Your Team

With nearly 25 years leading teams in the financial services industry, Barbara knows what real workplace pressure looks like, and how the Happiness Formula holds up under it. She brings that same formula to your organization, with outcomes that include:

  • Increased resilience and responsiveness to change
  • Confidence navigating difficult conversations, people and circumstances
  • Greater productivity and creativity
  • Improved relationships and collaboration
  • Better individual and team performance
  • Greater personal fulfillment and success

Barbara believes happiness isn't a soft skill - it's a performance driver. When people find more inner peace, they bring more resilience, creativity, and connection to everything they do, and that ripple effect reaches teams, clients, and results. She'll bring that same energy to your organization, whether you're a large corporation or a ten-person team.

The greatest competitive advantage in the modern economy is a positive and engaged brain. Happiness fuels success, not the other way around.

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Good Morning, Life! I knew I wanted Barbara to speak to my team. Her perspective, as well as the perceptive and thought-provoking questions she posed to us, resonated with the entire team and prompted much conversation during and after her visit. Do yourself a favour — read GML and then have Barbara inspire you in person. Thank you, Barbara!
