The Happiness Advantage: Your Key to Cultivating Success
At Triannual II, we talked about the “Happiness Advantage” – a radical lesson from research in positive psychology stating that happiness doesn’t come from success at work, but rather success at work comes from happiness!
Shawn Achor demonstrates that “when we are positive, our brains become more engaged, creative, motivated, energetic, resilient, and productive.” All traits that fuel improved performance, greater teamwork, better problem solving capabilities, and more positive results.
Research also suggest that happier people are also significantly healthier, they experience less stress, and experience much deeper social connections too.
We learned five simple habits to build our happiness bank: meditation, conscious acts of kindness, journaling, exercise and the three gratitudes.

TalentTracks Course: Embracing Change
We know all too well the bulk of our work as leaders is spent helping our teams (and ourselves) adjust to organizational change.
Our Leadership Quest is introducing new frameworks for all of our interactions, casting new, bold visions for our future, and reorienting our minds and conversations to align everyone around new focuses and goals.
The HCMD is under construction and many of our departments will be adjusting to the rapid growth and location, procedural, and staffing changes.
COVID brought innumerable changes to everything we do, weighted by new stressors we couldn’t have imagined. Amongst all of these transitions, we see that perhaps the only constant in healthcare is change.
“It’s not so much that we’re afraid of change, or so in love with the old ways, but it’s the place in between that we fear… It’s like being between trapezes. It’s Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There’s nothing to hold on to.”
– Ferguson, 2011
