What Would Make You Happier Today? is a two-month program that gives your team evidence-based tools to explore what happiness truly means and how to foster it—both individually and collectively.

This is how we move from crisis management to culture building—with a new understanding, language, and actionable steps for thriving.
Participants will complete the four-week course What Makes You Happier? at their own pace. This course provides practical tools to foster happiness through systems thinking, growth mindset, full-body engagement, and more.Start with an engaging, one-hour live session led by Megan McDonough, Founder of Wholebeing Institute, to set the stage for the program and inspire participants to explore what makes them truly happy.
Conclude with a one-hour session to reflect on key takeaways, celebrate progress, and discuss strategies for applying insights in daily life and work.
Participants have the flexibility to join twice-monthly open office hours as needed, gaining personalized guidance, deeper exploration of the program’s concepts, and support in applying tools to real-world challenges.

- The ripple effect matters: When individuals flourish, their positive impact radiates outward, benefiting their teams, organizations, and communities.
- Thriving is a shared experience: Personal well-being and organizational culture are deeply interconnected; one cannot fully thrive without the other.
- Change begins with awareness: Self-understanding is the foundation for both personal and professional growth.
- Small actions, big impact: Incremental, intentional changes in daily habits can lead to profound and lasting shifts in well-being.
