We are leading a movement to create happy, empowered and productive workplaces.
How can we help you and your people to find joy in at least 80% of your work?
Do you all know the concept of ‘celebrate mistakes’? How many people have celebrated a mistake in the last couple of months? Let’s see if the rest of you can in the next couple of months.
This is the Church of Fail. It’s in Brighton and every month they get together with an altar and everything and they celebrate the best failures from the last month.
That’s a small example. A bigger example, Tata – who may not be the most popular name in the country at the moment, particularly if anyone’s from South Wales, but when the founder was retiring, he set up a failure award because he saw failure as a goldmine. And the more you can encourage failure, the more you’ll get innovation. So those are some little examples of things that are embodying the kinds of principles that we’re talking about.

Happy offers leadership programmes at Level 3, Level 5 and Level 7, from new managers/supervisor level all the way up to senior leadership teams and CEOs. These programmes are based on the ideas of trusting your people. They are practical and based on applying what yo’ve learnt. We aim to inspire and ignite change in your organisation, as well as giving you valuable management skills such as business strategy, decision-making, negotiation and project management.
We also offer programmes tailored specifically to people from Global Majority backgrounds. The content is the same, but have been designed to give new and experienced managers the skills they need to navigate organisational culture with a clearer perspective on their own potential, as well as building their confidence and expanding their professional strengths.
