I spent three days in Istanbul this week launching our partnership with local company Power of Happiness who will be using some of our tools and concepts with clients in Turkey.

First I did a workshop for a group of leaders from Borusan (a big Turkish holding company) and on Tuesday we did an open speech for invited HR managers and executives from some big Turkish and international businesses.

Here I am with Tijen, Ferah and Diana – our new partners in Turkey. They are not only passionate about happiness at work, they also have enormous experience in coaching, speaking, facilitation, event planning, pr and leadership. And they’re also nice people and gracious hosts and made me feel very at home in Istanbul. We are incredibly excited about this partnership and the interest from clients in Turkey has been very encouraging.

Next step is a big conference about happiness at work in Istanbul on March 25. Contact Power of Happiness if you’re interested in attending.
