Too often, enjoyment and engagement are treated as “nice to have” instead of essential components of a productive workplace. Deadlines, projects, and crises take over, leaving team members feeling disconnected and drained, relying on sporadic gestures to feel engaged. And let’s face it—the word burnout gets tossed around like candy.

Additionally, it’s easy for team members to assume workplace joy is solely the leader’s responsibility, while leaders face rising disengagement without knowing how to fix it. Research shows that joyful employees are 31% more productive and three times as creative, leading to higher morale, retention, and innovation within teams. Joy isn’t just a feel-good concept—it’s a smart business strategy.

In this keynote, Lisa guides audiences through practical steps to create a culture of enjoyment and engagement. She introduces concepts such as “Crappy to Happy” to improve unglamorous work activities and demonstrates how team members can take accountability for their own enjoyment at work.
