Hey there, fellow workplace wanderers! Let’s talk about something that’s been lurking in the shadows of our corporate realms: negative employee experience. Yep, you heard that right. It’s like a solar eclipse, overshadowing all the good stuff your company is trying to achieve.

Now, before we dive in, let’s address the elephant in the room: sinking happiness levels, especially among (but not limited to) younger professionals.

Picture this: you’re scrolling through the latest Gallup World Happiness Report, and what do you see? North America, where many of us call home and where I primarily consult, is slipping down the happiness scale, especially for the younger crowd. TL;DR: America dropped several places this year… it’s not good. It’s like we’re stuck in a cosmic funk, with no sign of a silver lining.

But why is this happening, you ask? Well, grab a seat and let’s chat. It seems like our younger colleagues are facing a barrage of emotional hurdles, from worry and sadness to downright anger. And guess what? It’s not just a blip on the radar—it’s a trend that’s been gaining momentum over the years. And it has a direct, immediate, and lingering effect on your company’s performance. This is a problem we can’t afford to ignore.

So, what’s a workplace wizard like you to do? Cue the superhero music because here’s where I come in. Without sounding like a sleazy salesman, hiring someone like me to work with your teams can make a world of difference. I bring a fresh perspective, a sprinkle of Wisdom, and a whole lot of empathy to the table. Together, we can shine a light on those dark corners of employee dissatisfaction and start paving a path towards a brighter, happier workplace.

Think of it as a cosmic alignment of sorts—where my expertise meets your company’s needs, and magic happens. So, if you’re ready to banish those workplace woes and unleash the full potential of your team, let’s connect. Because life’s too short to let negativity eclipse the good work we’re capable of.

I have taken the career path less traveled, and that breadth and depth of experience fuel my unwavering drive for excellence (both my own and others), authentic empathy, and an insatiable curiosity that allows me to see the world through an innovative and creative lens.

About fifteen years ago, I discovered my superpower. I could take a complicated subject and translate it into something that my audience could understand, connect with, and actually use to its fullest. New software, esoteric academic concepts, and complicated governmental business processes became straightforward and, dare I say it, EASY for my teams. I know! It sounds more like the plot of a comic book than real life!
