Welcome to Happy Space®

I believe that everyone deserves a chance to make their richest contributions. Unfortunately, modern work culture can often invite marginalized groups to burn out or opt out...neither of which option feels just.

 

Happy Space is about exploring the intersection of productivity & inclusivity from the perspective of design. If we can design inclusive performance, we'll spark the reciprocity of giving and receiving, leading to wildly fulfilling lives for all involved.

Inclusivity must expand to address the neurodivergent mind, invisible disabilities, sensitivity, temperament, and caregiving responsibilities.

Check out the podcast, events, and programs all about working towards everyone having a Happy Space.

Being a highly sensitive person myself, I have taken a particular interest in building awareness of the trait. Did you know that the trait of high sensitivity appears in 1 in 5 people?  If it is not you, it is a family member, friend, colleague, or member of your community.

It is my goal to inspire a more tender world where all of us can make our richest contributions, HSPs included.

Events

 

Every month - on the second Monday (except for October and December when it will be the third Monday) I host an open Zoom call from noon - 1 pm Eastern Time to explore a topic related to designing inclusive performance.

Taking a cue from a burning news story we'll explore the issues from a variety of prespectives: employee experience & culture, product, service, & workspace design, inclusivity & performance to name a few.

Sign up for the Happy Space Hot Topics list and you'll be sent the Zoom Link and reminders for each call. Please note that the Zoom room size is limited so join early to be sure of a spot. See you there!

Are you ready to spiral up instead of down? Every quarter, I'll be holding a THRIVE SESSION on a different aspect of sustainable performance.

These are group experiences designed with sensitivity in mind. You'll have time for learning, reflection, and processing, along with an opportunity to access laser coaching at bonus pricing.

Our last Thrive Session - Design Your Best Year Yet! was a hit.

This is a place of hope, support, and advocacy for change.

We're thinking both bottom up - what can individuals do to ensure their sustainable performance, and top down - what can leaders to do design inclusive performance.

We must stop squandering talent. Everyone deserves a fulfilling life.

you can feel how the sun has infused everything he you can feel how the sun has infused everything here.
sunshine affects mood so deeply. the past few week sunshine affects mood so deeply. the past few weeks in Toronto have been greyer than normal. i’ve been immersed in work projects and have my swimming pool which have both helped immensely but today, being back in the sun reminds me just how much i adore it for fuel. 

serotonin up! vitamin d may be light as it’s still cool here, but i’m sure i’ll find a sheltered spot to absorb some rays when the sun is high in the sky. 

feeling very blessed to be able to take a winter break.

i'm zooming out. no, not zoomed out, but expandin i'm zooming out.

no, not zoomed out, but expanding the focus of the Happy Space Podcast.

when i launched the show last April, i was focused on highly sensitive people - empowerment and inclusion. i have since realized that there are more invisible challenges needing the spotlight. and hopefully, ultimately, we will operate with more compassion so we can #nevermindthelabels

there is much work to be done in what we know and also what we do not yet understand. our biases are natural and must be considered.

so, i have expanded the focus of the podcast to be about designing inclusive performance - making it possible for as many people as possible to make their richest contributions.

leaders want the best from their people yet the office culture or environment may not be inviting for all. if we are more intentional in design of spaces and work practices, this will get better.

i'm back with episode 13 - a solo episode - explaining the shift and inviting you to be part of the movement.

i'm excited for the next batch of 6 shows which include the following forward-thinking leaders and advocates:

- Mindset Coach and expert at managing anxiety - Paul Sheppard

- co-author of "Sensitive" due out at the end of February - @justandresolo 

- long time extreme humanist and thought provocateur - Tom Peters

- individualized work advocates - @alextheworkstyler ✊🏻 and @lizzietheworkstyler 

- co-founder of WorkTripp - @sjpagey 

i hope you'll join me. after all, everyone deserves a Happy Space.
