PERSONAL HAPPINESS DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP
Happiness is your birthright.
“Too many people measure how successful they are by how much money they make or the people that they associate with. In my opinion, true success should be measured by how happy you are.” – Richard Branson
It’s your birthright to be happy and to thrive. Regardless of age, race, gender, education background, or socio-economic circumstances, you have the right – no you deserve – to be happy in your life. Sadly, few of us know how to achieve happiness and well-being. We all want to be happy, and often think that if we’re successful, have achieved financial freedom, the ideal job, a child, the perfect weight, or a supportive partner, we’ll be happy, but that’s seldom the case. People can be happy while being poor, ill, and going through hardship.
It’s easy to confuse success with happiness, and many people strive for professional goals (money or job titles), only to achieve them and realise that it doesn’t give them the sense of happiness they were hoping for. Happiness isn’t only for the privileged few; rather it’s for everybody. That everybody includes you!
Research has repeatedly shown that happiness drives success. So, we need to strive to be happy, because it supports us in making better decisions, being more creative and resilient, and helps us cope with life.

Personal Happiness Development is an interactive, online workshop that stimulates your thoughts, and offers you easy-to-apply tools which shift unhelpful thinking patterns, actions, and beliefs. The workshop is based on the principles of Positive Psychology – the evidence-based science of human happiness, so we know our teaching creates lasting change.
The benefits of Personal Happiness Development
Aristotle once said “Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” He may have been a bit philosophical about happiness, but science has proven over the past few years that being happier impacts your physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being.
Think of developing your happiness as an overall well-being exercise programme. At first, it will feel odd to get started, and you’ll need plenty of patience, practice, discipline, and self-love. But it will get easier over time, and you will feel better. Integrating regular practices into your day will allow you to cope better with life, experience more positive emotions than negative ones, and will help you to bounce back from adversity much quicker.
This is how happiness can impact your personal and professional life:

- 13-26% improved heart health and lower risk of heart disease.

- Self-regulation to overcome poor sleeping habits.
- Better perspective, and the ability to accept new thoughts easily, which can lead to a lower experience of pain especially connected to chronic conditions such as arthritis.
- Live a longer life.

- 12% improved individual and team productivity.
- Better customer service satisfaction.
- Up to 20% increase in sales.

Why Personal Happiness Development is for you
A staggering 62% of people are languishing, living in their comfort zone, and not achieving their full potential!
While languishing is not necessarily bad, it does limit your potential for greatness. In life, we’re taught many skills and acquire diverse competencies, but we’re not taught how to be happy. We don’t know what being our best looks or feels like, and often we’re scared or feel guilty about being happy. Some people think it’s an unrealistic dream, and that they don’t have the right to be happy with all the misery around. Well, it’s not! Working on your happiness and well-being is hard work, and certainly not a spectator sport. You’ll have to actively practice the tools and be patient with yourself. Life is different every day, which means that your happiness levels will vary, but when you have the tools from the Personal Happiness Development workshop, you’ll have lifelong skills that will allow you to live a balanced and happy life.
