You can lead an entire team to hit every KPI—and still watch morale crumble quietly.

(Trust me, I’ve seen it happen.)

We keep chasing engagement. Productivity. Retention.

But we forget the root cause behind it all: how people feel at work. I learned that the hard way.

As an immigrant daughter who grew up in silence (literally—selective mutism), then later faced burnout and the chaos of menopause, I realized happiness isn’t a perk—it’s a practice.

It’s not about toxic positivity.

It’s about small, science-backed habits that rewire your brain to release motivation, connection, and purpose—naturally.

That’s what my keynote Happiness Habits for Enhanced Employee Engagement & Productivity delivers.

✨ Based on my book The Future of Work is Human and the Future of Success is Happiness,
I teach leaders and teams how to:
→ Reduce stress and spark motivation through micro-habits
→ Stack positive routines that actually stick
→ Build cultures where people want to stay and grow

Organizations like SHRM, UPEACE (UN-Sanctioned), and The University of Tennessee trust me to bring this message to their stages—because happiness isn’t fluff. It’s the foundation of performance.

If your audience needs to remember what it feels like to thrive again—let’s talk.

🎤 Book me for your next event

Let’s make happiness your team’s competitive advantage.
