Be Happy First

Resilience and Breakthrough Performance In Times Of Change.

After Neil’s wife left him and his best friend took his own life, he crash-landed in an empty downtown bachelor apartment. Just twelve months later, he was working directly for the CEO at Walmart, running the International Academy of Digital Arts and Science’s “Best Blog in the World”, and had just published The Book of Awesome, which stormed the New York Times bestseller list and sold over a million copies. The lesson was clear: resilience and growth can come from challenge and change. An inspiring talk that shares action-based ways to lift performance to new heights.

Lead Yourself Before You Lead Others

Which company is #1 on the Fortune 500 and has been for over a decade? Walmart.

The retail behemoth’s rise to half a trillion dollars in sales with over two million employees has been well-documented. But what hasn’t been documented is how they develop, nurture, and grow leaders up through those ranks. Neil served as Director of Leadership Development at Walmart and worked for the CEO while partnering with Harvard Business School to develop the first global leadership program inside the retail giant.

In this talk he shares how leaders can use science-backed practices to help themselves show up to lead teams of two, two thousand, or two million. It starts with yourself. Neil will show you how.

The result is an easy and research-backed way to build small, simple habits to help create workplaces where people show up inspired to do their best work every day.

Neil was incredibly attentive and intentional about delivering a message tailored to the needs of our group of over 2000 people. He shared valuable insights with humility, humor, and authenticity. He was inspirational and thought provoking. People were moved to laughter and tears at different times throughout his presentation. They were 100% engaged the entire time he spoke, and have continued, even a month later, to talk about the lessons they learned from him. I’ve heard lots of feedback and interest in beginning practice of the “2-minute morning” routine and I think everyone really appreciated having these types of practical suggestions. I could not be more happy with the outcome! Neil is truly amazing!

I cannot tell you the buzz in our meeting still after your presentation. People cannot stop talking about you and even people who have seen you for the third time commented on how it’s just amazingly valuable every single time! Our employees saw in you what I saw many years ago in your first TED talk -- your authenticity, strong values, kindness, and incredible wit and intelligence. You are a real talent and I feel so proud to have shared your voice with my company - I know you help our people be better.
