Extra Chief Happiness Officer Academy announced for December

Our regular CHO Academy in June sold out very quickly and had a long waiting list so we added an extra one in November which also sold out. So we added an extra extra Academy in Copenhagen on December 8-11.

If you want a deep dive into the theory and practice of creating happy workplaces then this is the training for you. But hurry - we've already sold the first tickets to the December Academy.

Previous participants loved the training, and said things like:

“Without a doubt, the best training I have ever experienced.”

“I came back to my organisation full of ideas, plans and time lines on how, who and when this was going to happen.”

“An inspiring and energising academy. LOVED every moment of it.”
