“Happiness isn’t about ignoring challenges — it’s about giving people the tools to overcome them.” — Shawn Achor
Today’s workforce is overwhelmed. Health center leaders are seeing rising stress, burnout, and turnover. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
We help staff reconnect with purpose, energy, and each other through a proven, science-based workshop that’s already being used by health centers across the country.
The Happiness Advantage | Orange Frog Workshop™
Based on the work of Shawn Achor, a New York Times bestselling author and positive psychology researcher at Harvard, this immersive experience equips teams to build a culture of resilience, optimism, and high performance.

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.
