AI Is Changing Work — Here’s How Leaders Ensure Humans Stay Essential

Research from Shawn Achor (Harvard Business Review, 2012) shows that when teams operate from a positive cognitive state:

• ~31% increase in productive energy
• ~37% higher sales performance
• ~40% greater likelihood of promotion (leadership readiness)
• Up to 3× greater creativity
• ~23% reduction in the negative effects of stress

These effects are durable. When positive habits are practiced for as little as three weeks, gains persist months later — indicating systemic change in how the brain processes information, not temporary motivation.

“World Happiness Fellowship embodies happiness as a science, skill and tool to empower employers and employees alike to embrace simple actionable strategies together to improve overall wellbeing.”
~ Alexia Georghiou, Founder, World Happiness Fellowship

If you are leading through complexity, change, or burnout and you want leadership to feel more steady, more human, and more effective, I invite you to join us. ~ Alexia Georghiou, Founder World Happiness Fellowship

Who will be there:
Leaders from business, nonprofit, government, education, healthcare, and community organizations.

Come as you are.
Leave refueled.
