4 Essential Ingredients for Amazing


Crippling myth in our society that: “If we work hard, we will be more successful, and if we are more successful, then we’ll be happy.”

DEAD WRONG!

Happiness fuels success, not the other way around.

When we are positive, our brains become more engaged, creative, motivated, energetic, resilient, and productive at work.

Unhappiness impacts:

Energy, relationships, your focus, your resilience, communication style

(See Kathy’s interview of Shawn Achor’s work – How Happiness Directly Impacts Your Success)
