Know any happy leaders or workplaces in South Africa?
I’ve been booked to do a number of speeches about happiness at work in South Africa in March. I’ll be in Johannesburg from March 3-6 and Cape Town from March 6-9.
I’m currently working on a book of interviews with the world’s happiest leaders. These can be in business, arts, sports, politics, academia, etc.
Do you know of any South African leaders or workplaces who are obviously committed to creating happiness?

We are 100% committed to happiness at work. Its even a deciding factor when we talk to a potential client.
