Past Workshop Attendee Testimonials

“If you want to have a great school, you have to have a great culture. And happiness is the best place to start. Orange Frog made a big splash in our district and led to some great changes and improvements for staff and students.”

Joel Pedersen, Chief Administrator of Central Rivers AEA and former Iowa Superintendent of the Year

"Our staff experienced burnout and was being enticed to leave for higher pay and benefits at other healthcare facilities. We knew staff had a choice and we needed them to stay working for us. We made the Happiness Advantage and our Brilliantly Orange Culture part of our strategic plan. I’m happy to say that plan worked. Initiating the Happiness Advantage | Orange Frog training with all employees was our first step."

Joey Marie Horton, CEO, North Country Family Health Center, Watertown, New York

MEET SHAWN

Considered one of the world’s leading experts on the connection between happiness and success, Shawn Achor is the New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage, Big Potential, and The Orange Frog.

His research on mindset made the cover of Harvard Business Review, his TED Talk is one of the most popular of all time with more than 28.4 million views, and he has lectured or worked with nearly half of the Fortune 100 companies as well as the NFL, the NBA, the Pentagon, and the White House.

Having spent over a decade living, researching, and lecturing at Harvard University (and during that time winning over a dozen distinguished teaching awards), Shawn draws on his own research — including one of the largest studies of happiness and potential at Harvard — and more recently on the effects of positivity in organizations facing crisis, to show how our potential can be unleashed, and our people re-energized when we focus on pursuing happiness now, especially during times of challenge and uncertainty.

He has now lectured in more than 50 countries speaking to CEOs in China, doctors in Dubai, schoolchildren in South Africa, and farmers in Zimbabwe. His Happiness Advantage training is one of the largest and most successful positive psychology corporate training programs in the world.

The Happiness Advantage

The Seven Principles of Positive Psychology that Fuel Success & Performance at Work

Our most commonly held formula for success is broken. Conventional wisdom holds that if we work hard we will be more successful, and if we are more successful, then we’ll be happy. If we can just find that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But recent discoveries in the field of positive psychology have shown that this formula is actually backward: happiness fuels success, not the other way around.

The Orange Frog

A Parable for Culture Change

Caught between two worlds, Spark was exactly like every other frog in his pond with one notable exception. Spark emerges from a tadpole with a slight but noticeable orange spot. And this orange spot makes Spark feel uncomfortably different. What’s more, Spark begins to make a disconcerting observation; when he does things that make him feel better (and produce more positive results) the orange spots increase. Spark is left with a difficult decision; be normal, which makes him less conspicuous, or continue doing those things that make him happier, more productive and… more orange. So begins the parable of The Orange Frog, a disarming tale that serves as the starting point for the workshop Leading Positive Results™.
