Connecting with Joy and Gratitude at Work: Keys to Drive Meaningful Growth
Why Joy and Gratitude Matter in Business?
Joy is a positive emotion characterized by feelings of delight, contentment, and deep satisfaction. It often arises from meaningful experiences, personal achievement, or authentic connection with others. Joy fuels enthusiasm, creativity, and engagement. Research shows that when individuals connect with joy daily, they are more productive and receptive to new challenges.

In business, it involves acknowledging the contributions of others, celebrating progress, and cultivating a mindset that focuses on strengths and opportunities.

Sarah, Project Manager
Lorena's workshop went beyond my expectations, it helped me to reflect deeply on my own abilities and guided me to discover how I can connect to others' needs. The tools she used throughout the workshop are not just information passing on, but guide you to connect with your core and transform this substance into tangible and clear actions to communicate what you have to offer.
I enjoyed the process and liked the way it was structured, it provided a good balance between structure and space for creativity. I can highly recommend her content.

"Abbie, our wonderful trainer, helped align the entire team "as humans". Her 2-Day workshop is giving us a new beginning, helping to foster a culture around our values. Kind of like a reset from before, a new beginning around kindness, compassion, self-awareness. There was a special energy in the room, a different way of being together with our colleagues when the focus was not on what needs to get done
