Amy’s keynote at the Entrepreneur’s Organization Conference “One Level Up” (Munich, September 2016) delivered phenomenal take-home value for our participants. She played an integral role in our vision to create a very special learning event tailored on personality development – and allowed our member entrepreneurs to better understand how to actively influence their happiness and lead a better life. The scientific findings about positive psychology helped to understand “why” happiness is not just a genetic predisposition – and the daily habits provided the specific tools needed to transform one’s life.

We had Amy as a guest speaker at our annual kick off meeting for staff. She was a fantastic addition to our program. She spoke for an hour, was engaging the entire time and had insightful stories to share. She had such an impact that when the event ended we had staff eager to speak with her further one on one.

Michelle Gielan’s buoyant, poignant, and uplifting message was the cornerstone of our entire three-day event. Michelle’s warm, inclusive, and elegantly polished delivery brought our group of 200 into her enchanting inner circle. Our group includes data geeks, research nerds, and senior business executives…a diverse group that expects that theory is backed by proof. Michelle and her message not only resonated, but also transformed our audience to adopt the challenge of radiating happiness. Including Michelle Gielan in an event is to ensure happier, more productive, more successful outcomes for your group.

“In Ripple’s Effect, a story for children teaches that a gesture as simple as a smile can have a profound effect on others.”

“Just read Ripple’s Effect to two classes at my kid’s school and did the smile exercise. Of course, all the kids ended up laughing and their challenge today is to smile at three people (not in their class). I expect to see a big ripple effect and many smiling, happy people around the neighborhood today!!!! Thanks Shawn for helping me create a positive Ripple!!!”

Shawn Achor, one of our greatest positive psychologists for the workplace, has done it again. With his characteristic blend of academic rigor and twinkle in the eye, in “Before Happiness” Achor delivers a book that will change your view of happiness, of reality — and of yourself.

In this remarkable book, one of the leading thinkers in the field of positive psychology digs deep into the science to find practical techniques for unleashing your genius for happiness. So forget about cheap gimmicks and gooey affirmations. Instead, listen to Shawn Achor — and prepare to take notes!

“This was amazing! A must-do for any employee, it will motivate you in the workplace and outside!”

“I had a co-worker that I made a habit of avoiding… it finally got to the point that we could not effectively work together. I decided at that point to focus on what I could do to make relations better, going out of my way to know more about my co-worker. I started to see their point of view, which led to barriers breaking down. Now we have a strong relationship that has led to more success for both of us.”

“While we can’t say exactly how much yet, we definitely attribute part of our success to the Orange Frog training. We now celebrate the power of social scripts we believe in as an organization. They come alive generating stronger relationships internally and with our customers, too. Our positive behaviors have facilitated positive results. The Happiness Advantage/Orange Frog Workshop has given everyone a framework of seven different methods to generate positive impacts and take change head-on.”

“(After the workshop) There has been a healthy mindset shift among our staff away from the ‘chain of command way of thinking.’ A lot of us used to feel like we had to wait for changes to come from the top and eventually trickle down to us. Now we have more of an empowerment mentality and we’ve learned to meet change head on with a positive mindset.”

“We recently brought Eric in to partner with us on an annual leadership conference we plan and execute for one of our top clients. I’ll be honest, senior leadership was initially skeptical of bringing in such “soft” content, but after Eric’s program they were impressed with the strength of the research and Eric’s ability to convey it in a fun, engaging and accessible way. One leader commented, “Best conference to date. Outside the box and hit a home run!”

“Eric’s ability to synthesize and explain a decade of positive psychology research into a 2 hour presentation to our Leadership Team was masterful, engaging and fun. His message resonated across our diverse group of managers who originate from more than 20 countries. Their positive reactions and desire to implement Eric’s suggestions for increasing the happiness of their teams was evident during the event and validated in our post event survey.”

“Alia really had passion for the subject and offered her own experiences to show relevance of topics in everyday life.”

“Alia had great enthusiasm and went out of her way to get to know [us]…Great work!”

“Michelle has a compelling story about how she found her compass and how she helps others find theirs. She was a poised speaker with a positive and resounding message that challenges you on the approaches you take with others.”

“Michelle presented to our top leaders from around the world and was well received. I was looking for a strong message on the power of positive thinking and Michelle exceeded my expectations with her scientifically supported data, energy level and down to earth style of presentation. I received several personal messages from key leaders around the world that the results were very positive when they used the techniques she promoted. They referenced using at home with family members and at work with staff. Thank you for carrying the torch on positive thinking. I’m a believer and a fan of your work.”

“Shawn was the ideal choice and the perfect change of pace. He was hysterical, engaging and had the whole audience focused on how to make positive changes in their lives.”

We invited Shawn to come speak to our most productive and successful financial advisors and we were uncertain about how he would be received. However, not only did the audience hang on his every word, but they have been asking us to bring him back to speak to their best clients and prospects. Overall, Shawn was a highlight of our conference and a huge success.
