Since I remember myself, I’ve always been curious - eager to explore new ideas, trends, and ways of understanding the world. Whether it's fast-evolving technology or the human-centric realm, I love learning, testing, and discovering. Last year, my curiosity led me to a NEW discipline that immediately resonated with me: Happiness Studies, created by former Harvard Professor Tal Ben-Shahar. His core message - “Happiness is the ultimate currency in the world” - felt like a perfect reflection of what I have been always striving for. 💛 And so, I began my Happiness Journey. Today, I’m excited and humbled to share that I have officially become a Certified Happiness Trainer. This past year has been: 🌱 Deeply insightful 🔎 Eye-opening 💡 Full of tools and research-based perspectives that helped me understand how I’ve navigated challenges while staying grounded and genuinely happy 🔁 Transformative—offering techniques I try to use daily and will continue to share with others I feel happy to have a chance to share my gained knowledge and practical tools and techniques within Accenture Luxembourg and Belgium as part of our internal wellbeing initiatives that focus a lot on the wellbeing of its people, sense of belonging and integrity. Last week, I delivered my first workshop in Brussels to an amazing group of early enthusiasts. We explored the first element of the SPIRE Wellbeing Model - Spiritual Wellbeing that is all around sense of meaning, purpose, and present-moment awareness. This is just the beginning. I’m excited to onboard more people into this happiness journey and together explore how we can live more fulfilling, purposeful, and happier lives. 💛 Happiness is not a destination. It’s a journey that is worth pursuing. It is a choice we can make every day. #HappinessStudies #DrTalBenShahar #SPIREModel #Accenturemoments #AccentureGPTWCertified #HappinessJourney #PersonalGrowth
