Build your business' culture and happiness
5 out of 5 stars
"My experience with Sunny and Vero, Delivery Happiness coaches, far exceeded my expectations and left me speechless, which is hard to do. I thought I was well versed in communications and positive thinking, but little did I know they were going take me to a whole other level of understanding who I am. This was by far one of the most intense trainings I’ve been through, yet an experience of understanding authentic happiness I’d do all over again. Their professionalism, dedication, intelligence, fun, down to earth personalities, pushed me out of my comfort zone every day which allowed me to go deeper into fully understanding myself as leader in my organization and who I am with my family. I am forever grateful for the knowledge I walked away with and the opportunity to deliver happiness to those around me. My sincerest gratitude to Sunny Grosso and Veronica Fernandez."

happiness and humanity. She’ll define what it means to take care of your greenhouse as you grow others, and explain the new concept of the double ROI — return on investment and ripple of impact.
People today are facing a tremendous amount of overwhelm and FUD instead of fun. The FUD factor is the Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt
that is draining people’s energy and causing a tremendous strain on mental health, emotional availability and overall capacity.
Never in our time has mental health, happiness and emotional wholeness been more important or as severely threatened. In Jan 2020
the World Economic Forum reported that the leading contributor to disease had become anxiety, depression and fractured mental
health, leading to a significant rise in stress-related illnesses. And that was before covid19 hit us.
During this keynote we will dive deeper into the field of WHOLENESS through a focused and expanded view in to the areas of:

The world has seen exponential change in the way we live and massive disruption in the way we work. While wellbeing at work used to be a nice to have, it is now essential to work at our best. It is also essential to respond to new opportunities and reach the next level of success. How do we manage our emotional health, productivity, and yes, even happiness, amidst eroding and shifting constructs such as work-life separation and the 9-5 workday?
This talk brings to the forefront the new human needs to thrive in our worklife. From building adaptability to thriving through chaos, Sunny offers the most relevant ideas from the science of happiness and key tactics for individuals and teams to step into thriving, including rebooting resilience, emotional resources, and intrinsic motivation. Because the future of work is now. And thriving is an inside job.
Our Mini Inspirational Chat with Sunny [and your choice of another leader] is an ideal way to create an even more intimate & inspirational interaction for your attendees. The conversations will provide a vision of what it looks like to be values-driven leader who leads with employee well-being and purpose.
We believe this will allow your attendee’s to engage personally ask questions, feel connected and to learn more about culture trends, the future of work, overall employee well-being [and how they can drive high engagement which in turn increases profits].

How did you get interested in happiness at work?
My first real job was a grey-celled, err cubicled (!), soul-sucking experience right out of college that scared the bejeezus out of me. I realized that people were at work, in order to escape work. It made no sense to me. How could we spend half our lives waiting for the weekends, suffering in quiet withdrawal of our potential? Weren’t we also robbing the world of our gifts?
So I ran. Far! Across the country to California, where my search for a better way began. Naturally, I became a bartender! It was easy happiness, but you guessed it, short lived. I found myself job-hopping for the next decade. And then abruptly, I came to a turning point. An injury sidelined me just as the first Dot-Com Boom went bust. I was jobless, broken, and hadn’t found the fulfillment I yearned for. I felt like a failure, and worse, a pervasive emptiness had settled in.
Then a young CEO gave me a book called Delivering Happiness. I saw a new path to happiness, and for the first time felt something like a calling. I realized my own search and failures uniquely qualified me to build Delivering Happiness, and help the world work happier.
What is happiness at work?
Happiness at work is when you can show up and act in alignment with your values, the core of what you believe, and what makes you you.
When you connect authentically with the people around you. When you are making progress in meaningful tasks. When you have reached a healthy level of autonomy in your work. And when you can sense the greater purpose of your work, beyond money. It’s not about bonuses, status or ego gratification. Not for long at least. And it’s not about perks and pool tables!
Could you tell us 3 tips for achieving happiness at work?
1. Be you. Nothing will bring you happiness long term, in work or life, if you cannot be you. Yet, being ourselves in a world that has told us who to be, how to be and even when to be (!) is not easy. It takes curiosity to do the inner work of knowing our true selves, and courage to be just that. Vulnerability is at the heart of this. But beautifully, on this journey, we not only find ourselves and start to flourish, we inspire others with the courage to be themselves. And. As we arrive here we find we have so much more to give, which benefits the organization tremendously in ROI. It becomes a positive cycle between us, our organization and our work community. We call this Me –We – Community Model.
2. Live by your values. So how do you be you? One of most important skills of the future is to know yourself. The world is changing faster than ever, and so have our expectations of work. It’s not about stability or contentment anymore, it’s more about thriving. To navigate and thrive, we have to know ourselves. That’s the new stability! When we’re rooted in who we are, we have stability no matter what’s changing around us. We can do in a simple way by living by our values. These are our most core beliefs, that make us who we are, and the roots we can grow deep into the earth to stabilize our happiness in a changing world.
3. Get cozy with your Why – it’s been around forever. The Japanese call it Ikigai. Simon Sinek calls it the Golden Circle. And it’s hugely popular now. It’s your Purpose. It’s also extremely elusive, surrounded by folklore and mystery. The trick is, we don’t have to find our purpose to be happy at work, and in fact, it rarely happens that way! Merely being on the path or exploring our purpose is sufficient, and among all the forms of happiness, purpose is the most sustainable path to happiness.
Do you have a favorite experience from your career?
One of the first presentations I did was with our CEO Jenn Lim, in front of Bill and Melinda Gates. And there she was, Melinda Gates, regal and poised and dressed disturbingly smart in the front row! Nerves ran wild like electricity through my body. I was on the edge of a cliff about to share our message with Melinda… I bordered on peeing my pants! Just as I stood up, trying to be cool as the designer stage I was about to speak on, Jenn raised a brow and pointed down my torso. “Your fly’s undone.”
How much does humor factor into your keynotes?
Humor is essential to integrating new ideas! It diffuses stress and relaxes the brain. We take in information more readily, associate it more freely with our own experiences, and apply it to our lives. But also, humor is an extremely effective way to build community. It highlights similarities in a group as we all get the joke, laugh, and suddenly realize something common is at play in the room. We start to feel safe. We sense a new permission to connect with each other. We feel more comfortable being ourselves. Relating. Building new bonds. And in the best talks, a palpable micro-community develops.
What do you gain personally from being a public speaker?
There is nothing more exciting than when you feel a spark suddenly start to glow inside you. It’s the spark of an idea that is yours. It’s bloomed from a deeply authentic place of your own truth, and hopes, and dormant dreams. It’s often connected to you purpose. And this little spark carries the energy to change lives, from your own, to others, even rippling out to change the world. We need these sparks, they touch a part of us waiting to wake up. They bring out passions and purpose, and give us energy to act. It’s how real personal change happens, how we solve big problems at work, and together, in this world. Seeing that spark ignite, offering that spark as a speaker, inspires ME.
