When You Grow Up, What Do You Want to Be? The Science of Workplace Happiness

What if the secret to your organisation's success is hidden in a childhood dream? 🤯

This week, we share a truly unique and fascinating story about a young beetle named John—a Liverpool native who just wanted to be happy. This talk uses John’s journey to prove that happiness is not a soft skill; it’s a non-negotiable strategic metric.

We reveal how John’s daughter, Jude, uses world-class research to expose the science of well-being, showing him exactly why his adult life went wrong. This talk introduces the Fab Four drivers of human happiness, straight from our data, proving that fundamentals like Safety, Acknowledgement, Freedom, and Relationships directly impact your business.

(Keep your ears open! See how many cheeky Beatles references you can spot in the story.)
