Joy - Key to organizational productivity growth The COO's Corner Podcast

Can you imagine a workplace where joy is a driving factor for success? Join me as I chat with Marguerite Orane, the owner of Free and Laughing Incorporated, who shares her mission to help others live, work, and lead with joy. With a diverse background as a Harvard MBA, entrepreneur, and mindfulness meditation practitioner, Marguerite provides valuable insights on cultivating happiness and productivity within the workplace, especially in the wake of pandemic-induced burnout.

We explore the power of music and creating a joyful morning playlist and the importance of examining the physical environment, systems, and processes to foster an environment of joy. Marguerite also emphasizes the value of involving the team in designing a culture of joy and how to measure its success. Dive deep into the world of joyful workplaces as we discuss the significance of relationships with supervisors, the role of meaning, recognition, and money in driving happiness, and Marguerite's inspiring story of implementing the Balanced Scorecard at the Wolmer's Schools in Jamaica.

Finally, discover the impact of mindfulness and meditation on leadership and personal growth, and learn how to have heart-to-heart conversations in the workplace. Tune in to this episode to uncover the secrets of mindful leadership, and take actionable steps toward bringing more joy into your workplace.
