Being happy in the workplace: what are we waiting for?"

Valérie Boas

Driven by a passion for transmitting and explaining, Valérie uses her 25 years of experience in companies, in France and abroad, to provide training and coaching. In both French and English, her two mother tongues, with a good dose of energy and humor.

Happiness is an ideal, a promise and a goal to which we all aspire. But then, why are we so unhappy? Why is burn-out so common? Why are employees looking for a meaningful career fuel a flourishing personal development industry? Why and how do we often produce our own unhappiness, especially at work?

The key to this paradox lies in the functioning of our brain, in our condition as a social animal, but also in the awareness of our true needs: health, quality interpersonal relationships, meaning of our actions, feeling of connection to the universe and contribution to the world.

By dissecting our biases and contradictions, Valerie Boas combines humor and relevance to raise the question of happiness, especially in the workplace, a place of collective spirit and space for living together. She gives us concrete ways to live a better and happier life, uncovering the meaning we can give to our work and our lives.
