This week I sat down with Penny Locaso who is a TEDx speaker, entrepreneur and author of the new book, Hacking Happiness, based around a quantifiable method she has developed for individuals and organisations to become more skillful at adapting to rapid change.
I first met Penny when she presented at a conference that I was at in her bathing suit! She certainly got my attention and the attention of the whole room. We discussed how Penny came up with this idea and the impact that it had.
Penny shared that practicing small acts of bravery each day will not only build your resilience but enable you to uncover possibility. And that experimenting in this space builds self belief, courage and confidence.
We talked about how Penny developed her business Hacking Happy, she shares how she works plus the importance of hobbies and how businesses could start to learn and connect more with there teams through different learning experiences such as hobbies. We also discussed how completely intertwined our work and play has become. Plus we discussed the impacts on covid on mental health and how technology is impacting our lives plus we both share a love of horses!
There was a lot to discuss and I know that you are going to love this episode.
Good luck Hacking your way to Happiness.
