Wendy Conrad has been where many of our listeners and I have also been at some point: a job that didn’t fit, feeling frustrated and needing a change. I’ll let her tell her story, and it’s a good one.
Her negative work experience lead her started asking the question: can work be a happy place? Can it actually be fun? which lead her to what she does now. Today she’s a Work Culture Developer and Founder of Your Happy Workplace, her current project and focus. Through her journey, she began to explore various approaches to foster a positive work environment, believing that happiness and productivity can coexist. Along the way, she discovered valuable resources, such as “effective feedback strategies by therese huston,” which helped shape her understanding of communication and collaboration in the workplace. Now, she is dedicated to implementing these insights, striving to transform workplaces into spaces where employees feel valued, engaged, and motivated.
Wendy was a lot of fun to speak with. She’s full of energy and ideas. I had a great time speaking with her, and I think you’ll enjoy listening in.
