In this episode, we are joined by Aoife O’Brien, founder of Happier at Work, and host of the award winning Happier at Work® podcast.

We absolutely loved this conversation where we chat about Aoife’s work on cultivating human-centred workplace cultures that prioritise wellbeing, career growth, and meaningful impact as well as our thoughts on the importance of workplace happiness and what all of this means for leaders.

We are back from the summer break with a fabulous episode with Michelle Stowe, educator at heart and Founder and Director of Connect RP.
