I’m back from speaking in Shanghai and Austin
We’re back from 2 AWESOME weeks in Shanghai and Austin. It’s just crazy how the interest in happiness at work is growing all over the world.
In Shanghai I spoke at a management seminar for 100 managers from Hermés in the region. Hermés already has a strong focus on employee happiness. They LOVED my talk and are now taking this message to all stores and offices in the region.
In Austin I spoke at the WorkHuman conference, which is essentially all about happiness at work. Other speakers included Simon Sinek and Amal Clooney, so I was extra proud that several people called my speech their favorite from the event :)
My books in very good company at WorkHuman:

Client feedback
I did two workshops in Belgium last week for a repeat client. Their feedback was simply this:
“You are second to none. Thank you so much once again.”
We also just calculated the average client rating for our last 300 speeches and workshops and it’s 9.6/10. That’s just awesome.
UPDATE: Just got some more feedback from the same client:
We had 2 REALLY GREAT days with Alexander.
The response has been huge! The HR department is the most popular department for the moment 😊

One of our clients won a prize for being happy
I just got an email from Anders Pallesen, the HR director of Danish IT company Elbek & Vejrup. They recently made it to the top of the Danish Great Place to Work list and here’s what he wrote:
Yesterday we won an award as the best IT workplace in Denmark. This journey started 3 1/2 years ago with your workshop.
Thank you very much for helping us and for inspiring us to go in this direction.
The things you taught us back then are very much alive and often mentioned and happiness is still a fundamental theme for us.
Wow. Nothing makes me happier than knowing that the things we teach our clients work and makes them happier and more successful.
Congratulations to Elbek & Vejrup on their continued focus on happiness.
Here’s a Google translation of an article about their award.
