“Happiness is not pleasure it’s the joy we feel moving towards your potential.” -Speaker Shawn Achor
Keynote speaker Shawn Achor is the author of the international bestseller, “The Happiness Advantage” and the NYT bestseller, “Before Happiness”. Shawn Achor is considered one of the world’s leading authorities on the connection between happiness and success. His research on happiness has made the cover of Harvard Business Review. In addition, his TED talk has become one of the most popular of all time with over 10 million views. His most popular lecture called “The Happiness Advantage” was aired on PBS stations nationwide. It has been seen by millions.
Being a remarkable winner of academic awards, the talented speaker Shawn Achor spent over a decade at Harvard University where he served as Head Teaching Fellow for “Positive Psychology,” which eclipsed “Intro Economics” as the most popular course at Harvard. He graduated ‘magna cum laude’ from Harvard and earned a Masters in Christian and Buddhist ethics. And in 2007, Shawn founded Good Think Inc. in an effort to share his research with the world. Subsequently, Shawn has lectured and researched in countries across the globe, speaking to CEOs in China, school children in South Africa, doctors in Dubai, and farmers in Zimbabwe. He has worked with over a third of the fortune 100 companies and continues to be one of the nation’s most popular speakers.

“Our expectations for Shawn’s talk at our recent H.R. Conference was quite high, given what I had seen of his “TED” talk and having read much of The Happiness Advantage – and all those expectations were exceeded! While I knew the content would be powerful and anticipated the delivery would be engaging, I underestimated the positive impact it would have on the audience beyond the conference. The attendees have been quite energized and have begun taking actions to be happier and more grateful in their own lives. Further, while the learning will be applicable at our workplace, I think the attendees felt the impact was transferable to all aspects of their lives (and their families).”
"We have used Shawn globally to deliver workshops for our Managing Director and Executive Director audiences (both individuals and intact teams); as an estimate he has presented to close to 1000 people at this level at UBS. We are pretty selective about whom we would put in front of this level of audience but Shawn never disappoints. The feedback from the seminars he has run for us is amongst the best across any of the training courses we deliver (from memory over 95 per cent of this audience would recommend the training to peers). Shawn has partnered exceptionally well with UBS to tailor his materials and research to our needs. He is always open to feedback and ideas."
"Shawn's presentation on happiness was absolutely amazing! Funny, engaging, smart, optimistic, and practical, Shawn inspired us to shift the way that we look at the world, and to make simple yet powerful changes in our own lives. His uplifting message had a positive impact on those who attended – the feedback we've received has been extraordinary, and people are still talking about his presentation!"
“Shawn Achor is a talented and engaging speaker. He has the ability to reach his audience through a unique combination of humor and real life experiences intertwined with results from his extensive research on happiness that brings credibility and validity to his message, which should resonate with any individual or company that values continuous improvement and strives for peak performance. I highly recommend Shawn Achor as both a speaker and an author. I am happier as a result of Shawn's positive influence on my life and family.”
