Summary: Many people are chasing success in order to find happiness. Yet, decades of research has proven over and over that happiness breeds success. The performance of positive employees is higher than their negative counterparts across many business success variables. So we actually need to find ways to be happy while we're working to drive our businesses to top performance in their respective categories. Creating leaders who build a happiness culture is an important way to create market success and differentiation. But there are ways that some leaders hold themselves back without being aware of it, and the root causes can be traced to their levels of authentic happiness. Today we’re going to hear from Valerie Sheppard on what those ways can be and how leaders can make internal shifts to create a lasting business advantage for their intrinsic happiness. Valerie Sheppard is an author, speaker and coach guiding people to authentic happiness, fulfillment and success using her 4-step "Happy to Be ME!©" process. She works with young adults, business leaders, groups and teams. You can connect with Valerie at http://HeartofLivingVibrantly.com or http://happinesssabbatical.com/
