Do you want to help create a happier workplace?

In the latest episode of the Happier at Work podcast, I sat down with the inspiring Rob Dubin, a renowned motivational speaker and advocate for employee happiness. Rob brings a wealth of wisdom and insights on the power of gratitude, happiness boosters, and meditation in fostering a fulfilling work life. 

Rob sheds light on the feel-good chemicals like serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine that are released when we engage in gratitude and happiness-boosting practices. Over time, these practices become associated with feeling good, making them easier to maintain as habits.

Rob's optimistic mindset played a crucial role in his survival during a harrowing snowstorm, highlighting the importance of cultivating optimism and spending energy on finding solutions. He shares invaluable advice on cultivating eudaimonic happiness at work, including setting boundaries, leveraging strengths, and finding purpose in what we do.

Rob's insights are a powerful reminder of the profound impact that happiness and fulfilment can have on our work lives. By adopting strategies for happiness and finding purpose in our daily work, we can create a more engaged and productive workforce.

196: International Women’s Day Special with Aoife O’Brien

Calling all women in the workplace!

In celebration of International Women's Day 2024, this episode of the Happier at Work podcast dives into the theme "Invest in Women, Accelerate Progress." I discuss five key areas where women often struggle in their careers and offer insightful solutions for each one.

Recognising these challenges is essential so we can take actionable steps to overcome them. I share my own personal anecdotes and experiences from my leadership program participants to provide relatable examples and practical advice for overcoming these challenges.

The main points throughout this podcast include:

  • The five main areas where women experience challenges in the workplace and how to overcome them.
  • Implement boundaries and non-negotiables to avoid people-pleasing and protect your time and well-being.
  • Recognise the value of your accomplishments and those of your team. 
  • Communicate your successes in alignment with your values.
  • Focus on tasks that align with your personal and professional objectives, and contribute to the overall goals of your organisation.
