The Genie is out of the Bottle… and it looks like an Orange Frog Here’s what we keep hearing: What we really want is an engaged workforce capable of performing at high levels and generating competitive advantage.” Research by Harvard’s Shawn Achor and others in the field of positive psychology proves that our level of happiness and positive outlook is directly correlated to predicable levels of sustainable success…and further, that this success ripples out to those around us. Best of all, these strategies can be learned. Now, Shawn has penned the most readable of business books; a short story about a “normal” frog that chooses to be anything but normal. This endearing story invites readers to share his journey to save an island in the midst of chaotic times, looming threats with a cast of recognizably disengaged characters. Adults and students alike find this story engaging and fun, but make no mistake, this is nothing short of a revolution in the way we approach engagement and happiness in today’s competitive work environments. Increase Productivity Build Team Engagement Create a Positive Performance Culture The research behind The Orange Frog and Shawn’s best-selling book The Happiness Advantage has been used at (among others) AMEX and TDAmeritrade, and by individuals and organizations in 45 countries to generate a more positive, productive culture and work environment.
