This free session has been designed to inspire you in your busy day. Join us at Normandale Community College to learn, be inspired, and walk away with ideas to enhance the underutilized and underestimated superpower: Happiness! Explore ways to increase your happiness and those you coach, manage, or support. Anyone who participates will find ideas for getting excited about your life, regardless of the outside forces tugging at you.

Happiness is an essential component of individual and societal well-being. It’s well documented that happiness has been linked to improved physical and emotional well-being, increased productivity, and goal attainment. Happiness is also linked to better relationships, physical health, and positive outcomes in many areas of life. This session will have you learning and engaging in activities that will show you how to cultivate happiness for yourself and others with whom you wish to find success.

This Event is offered as either a morning or afternoon session. Sessions are free, but we ask that you register in advance. Snacks will be provided; feel free to bring your lunch or purchase lunch on campus or nearby.

In this engaging, interactive session, you will learn why it is so important to cultivate happiness in your life, even during challenging circumstances. You will learn about the fundamentals of happiness, which are simple yet effective, and discover ways to show up for yourself and others more completely.

Participants will learn that happiness is the inverse of burnout. We will discover ways to identify burnout before it derails us and explore ways to stay focused on what is important.

An introduction to The Happiness Practice ™(THP), a life-transforming behavioral health solution that measurably improves well-being and performance, will be shared. Participants can try some techniques to explore making more conscious, deliberate decisions. You’ll receive immediate access to the 30-Day Happiness Practice and can use it individually or share it with the people you serve.

Align your actions with what makes you happy and you’ll soon discover a real “return on Happiness” in your life. Join us. Learn. Have fun. Leave Happy!
