Win a VIP Meet And Greet With Rob Lowe or Arianna Huffington
You probably know that Arianna Huffington and Rob Lowe are speaking at WorkHuman 2015. You’ve probably seen their work. You’ve probably read their books. (If not, you should.) And if you have, chances are you think one—or both—of them are pretty great.

Some of The Humans Behind WorkHuman 2015
When we set out to build WorkHuman we knew we were taking on a massive challenge. We wanted to transform a simple (if awesome) annual user event into a world-class conference on culture, organizational psychology and employee experience and would be relevant for people all over the business.
In less than a year.
Yes. You read that right. Rational people would have told us it couldn’t be done.

Eight Upcoming Talks You’d Be Crazy to Miss. Seriously.
We all have limited time. I mean, there are only so many hours in a week. And there are a LOT of things out there to read and see and attend. We’re all in the same boat. We have to pick and choose.
But how can we know which sessions and talks are worth our time and will get our minds and hearts racing—and which talks are going to be a snoozefest that leave us wanting our wasted time back?
Consider me your crystal ball.
I’m about to share with you (in no particular order) eight upcoming talks...

Micro-Interview with Author Dan Pink

An eBook for the International Day of Happiness
Today is the International Day of Happiness.
In June 2012, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution declaring the 20th of March an International Day of Happiness, and inviting member states to “pursue the elaboration of additional measures that better capture the importance of the pursuit of happiness and well-being in development with a view to guiding their public policies.”
The pursuit of happiness, says the UN, is a fundamental human goal. Further, the UN resolution recogn...

I referenced a few, but there are many more workplace sitcoms that show the power of the connections you make at work. In no particular order, here are six of my favorites:
The Office
I know I already wrote about this show, but I keep coming back to it because it’s been the best representation for the bo...

Boundary Theory, Work/Life Balance and Mindfulness
We often think of work-life balance as something that we can give employees by offering more flexible work schedules, or a holistic benefits package. Instinctively, it seems like giving employees time to manage their lives should help them get this elusive balance—which so many experts tell us we need.
But is that enough?
Flexible work schedules and an eye to work-life balance are good for business. A study last June by the White House Council of economic advisors showed a “significant positive...
