Imagine this: You’re at the weekly brainstorming meeting with your team. Every time you share an idea, your boss brushes it aside or gives a cursory nod and moves ahead without any real reaction. Or worse, you share a concept, your boss ignores it, and then minutes later your colleague shares the same idea and your boss congratulates them on their great suggestion. You leave the room feeling neglected and disrespected.

Michelle Gibbings is bringing back the happy to workplace culture. The author of three books and a global keynote speaker, she’s on a mission to help leaders, teams and organizations create successful workplaces where people thrive and progress is accelerated.
