- Your happiness is your own responsibility, even at work. A lot of us are trying hard to be happy in our personal life.

In this talk, Aurélie Litynski - Happiness at Work Expert, will inspire you to be the driver of your own professional happiness. She will also share hands-on tools to create a positive workplace culture, because we all need to shift our mindset and find solutions to be happier at work.

09:27 Top 5 drivers: recognition, social connection, trust, autonomy and meaningful job.
TY
Thanks for the summary!
This is really simply about mindset. If you have a strong, unshakeable mindset then the little frustrations we encounter daily in our workplace won't come close to affecting our mood.
Big occassion, social connection, trust, autonamy, meaningful job
YES! Amazing talk, thank you so much for bringing this topic to light. Many more should be talking about it. It’s empowering to realize that you are the driver of your own happiness ♥️
Thank you so much! Happiness starts with us, we should all realize it more :)
agree
I like the 'highlight of the day' idea.
This is a no brainer, yet it is still completely revolutionary when put into real life practice
Definitely! So impactful if we apply the tips on a regular basis.
So enjoyable! I am taking a lot away from this talk!
Me too!
It is all about perspective. But also, ensuring we aren't using toxic positivity to say within a system that does not support our growth. Our boss' aren't responsible for happiness, but they are responsible for ensuring a healthy and productive working environment.
Definitely, companies and leaders do have as well the responsibility to create a safe and positive environment at work.
And when we speak about happiness at work, it is not about faking happiness or being all the time positive, it's about finding a way to have more positive emotions than negative ones - in general! :)
As is the case with most things, happiness is a choice. You can choose for your happiness to be fragile and affected by others, or you can choose a positive mindset that carries you through the challenges of the day, and if you're too unhappy on a daily basis to do that, it's a pretty good indication that something needs to change.
"Frustrations can be minimised when we know how to act with more positivity." Amen, sis!
It should written at the entrance door of many companies :)
Seems like an obvious statement but can be very difficult to remember when you're in the workplace!
I just love her accent, it makes listening so much easier. I'd love to see her on stage.
Good tips, real tips I think might work for me, my positive training starts now!
good share..
Being aware of what our mind and body is telling us when work is becoming too much, when we are losing our zest - so important.
And that zest brings so much to one's personal and professional life.
I am definitely sharing this to facebook in the hopes that some of the people I work with see it...
Perspective is really everything.
This sounds like advice that could be used in not just a work setting, but in any place where you have to build and maintain rapport.
Okay but 'chief happiness officer' is a such an awesome title and needs to be normalised in every workplace.
I’m 30secs in and I’m praying that this chick is a work genie.
Sharing this one for sure....
Yes, thank you Aurelie! This is something that needs to be spoken about.
Awesome tedx talk Aurelie! I always knew you'd kill on that stage!!
Thank you so much Danna! My vision to spread more happiness at work at TEDx is now accomplished!
This went a lot deeper than I anticipated!
The part about happiness being a skill you can learn is such an undervalued bit of knowledge. I spent the majority of my young life thinking happiness was just something that just happened. Why aren't there more people around who will tell you this kind of stuff??
We have all been there. When we wake up one day and realise that we have lost all joy in life in exchange for security and ‘workplace value’
Reflect on your high light of the day… I’m going to talk about that when I get home to my wife, instead of the worst parts of my day.
excellent! Try it out with your friends and colleagues - it will bring your conversation to the next level. Thanks for watching my TEDx
It's really a shame how we slip into these unfulfilling roles in a workplace and slowly our happiness starts to fade. I have definitely been there and very quickly became someone people wanted to avoid. I am working on it though, and am glad to have found a talk like this to support what I'm trying to do
Thanks for emailing me this ted talk
Thanks, this was really helpful and much needed!
Perspective is everything!
I think the human species is always looking for greener pastures, a place we are rewarded more and a place we are respected more. As much as "WE" can change our mindset, I think leaders need to change they way they lead.
Like everything, it all starts with us.
I love the concept of happiness being a skill that we can learn
I couldn't agree more, we are responsible for our own happiness and nowhere is it more important to remember that than at work!
Amazing talk Aurelie. Great tips and lots of inspiration. Love your energy and happitude!
Thanks, happy you got inspired!
I always that the answer to this was to do something you love, but as I grew up I realized that's not practical for everyone. Thank you for the tips Aurelie, it's nice to have some practical and achievable steps to follow.
Glad you liked my TEDx talk!
I really admire all these people who have had to do their talks under covid restrictions and don't have an audience. I feel like it would be difficult not having an audience to vibe with.
Thank you - It was a huge challenge indeed... I am normally quite different with an audience in the room or even if I know that I have a real audience on the other side of the camera! But the pandemic taught us to adapt and find innovative solutions... we do our best :)
I read somewhere that a wondering mind is an unhappy mind. I can confirm this is true.
I needed to hear this today, thank you!
Wonderful, happiness is a skill we can train.
I loved listening to this talk because it reinforced all the things I've been trying to do in my workplace and oh how I wish I could make some of my co-workers watch this.
Thanks Carla for your nice words and for sharing your experience. Bringing more awareness in the workplace is a number 1 priority indeed. I'm working on it :)
My top driver is social connection and I don’t find my job meaningful… so I stand around chatting to my friends at work, ignoring all the customers, and honestly that makes me pretty happy!
Love this! Very insightful.
Ooft... I really felt for her as she described that work environment. It's so hard to wake up spend your entire day in an environment that drains you of everything.
Thank you for these great tips! I know now I will be able to make a change in my workplace. So inspiring !
Thanks for your feedback Marie & keep going!
Wow Aurelie. I just listened to your brilliant manifesto. I really connected with the idea of negativity bias and hacking your brain to re-train it... and surely the big takeaway for business is that engagement and productivity are a result of happiness, not the other way round.
Thank you. I shall spread the Happiness around ( :
Thanks so much for your nice feedback Zoe. I count on you to spread more happiness around :)
Couldn't agree more Zoe! Sharing this with a few people who could do with this reminder.
@@barunkazedonna thank you :)
Very practical messages on a highly important topic - greatly delivered, well done!!
Yes - Happiness is a skill we can learn - We just need to know how :)
This is a great talk Aurelie, and hopefully prompts some people into a bit of self reflection.
This has under tones of ‘just decide to be happy’. There is a whole lotta privilege in that mindset.
Thats just great Aurelie! How inspiring and motivating👏🏼
I'd be happy if I could work from home forever!
Being happy at work, even if it isn't fulfilling, is your choice.
I am the starting point and in charge. Thanks for reminding me every day Aurelie! 🙏💪💛
Thanks! & Well done, keep going!
Well done - my favourite line - productivity and engagement is the outcome of happiness at work
Yes, we should say it more often in companies :)
I recently found a new job. It's not what I expected in terms of stress levels and there's a lot of negativity. I caught one of my collegues saying mean things behind my back. It's been less than a month and I already want to quit... I hate having lunch with them... I really do.
You rock! Some happiness in this crazy time will help us all!
Yes! We can all have a positive impact with the people around us.
Great work and talk Aurelie! We are big fans of yours.
Thanks so much for your support WeWent!
All of our emotions are our own responsibility! So glad someone is putting out some content that explains why, and why it's important to take ownership, especially for happiness!
Engagement and productivity are the result of happiness. Let's vibe out gang!
Congrats Aurelie! You rock👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Flavio! Spreading happiness in the workplace is a great mission :)
this is doubly hard when you suffer from depression, unfortunately. thanks for your perspective, though! some good advice here for sure.
Absolutely brilliant and inspiring talk! Important reminder for all of us to seek happiness at work. Well done Aurelie!
Thank you Elena - happy you like it.
Awesome! Lots of inspiration packed in 15 min!
Thank you :)
Very well orchestrated and delivered talk from a professional speaker coaching POV. Well done!
Thank you so much. Your support made the difference :)
Hey thanks so much dear Aurelie for this inspiration and reminder to truly work on my inner drivers. Well done🌹
Thanks! Yes, Happiness is a skill we can all learn.
Thank you all for watching my TEDx and for your nice comments. Feel free to subscribe to my channel "Happitude at work" to get more tips on how to create a positive work culture.
Well done Aurelie! thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks Fennande! Glad you liked it :=)
I still struggle a lot with focusing on the negative. I try to do gratitude journals and all that but I probably need to focus on doing that more often.
me too...
Writing in a gratitude journal is proven by research to be very efficient however I never do it... it's not my thing.
For me, what works very well is to reflect on my highlight of the day and express it to others (for ex. at the dinner table with family or when my kids go to bed.)
On top, I try to actively enjoy the moment when I do something I like. My family and friends hear me often saying " Isn't it nice to do that / or be together ...." :) that helps me to stay on the positive side even though life can be challenging.
I hope it helps
Amazing talk!
Tearing up within the first 2 minutes - I am also going through a time of losing touch with my spirit because of my work.
How to be truly happy at work?
what are the top five drivers for happy at work?
1- Recognition.
2- Social connection.
3- Trust.
4- Autonomy.
5- Meaningful job.
The question of 'why aren't we working on our happiness at work, where we spend most of our time.' is a pretty big one. Maybe we could also be asking why have we built a society around having to be at work all the time?
Surely the answer is to just be happy all the time? Like with yourself, as a person?
Good Job!
Thanks so much
WOW!
Just do what you love?
Isn't it interesting though how some people just choose to be bitter? Almost like they enjoy spreading that negativity to other people. All you can do is feel sorry for them I guess.
Not everyone has the luxury of earning a living from their passion and being happy. Bills need to be paid
If your workplace is toxic - leave. Be brave to say no more.
I would be truley happy if I didnt have to work!
Interesting concept, but my life like many others is under the control of others, my boss for one, the engineers of social media who force feed me anger and upset. I just don't know if anything will help me.
Happy at my job? I want to be happy at home first, and away from my job!

The impossible birch biochemically smile because wrinkle substantially mate sans a messy beam. pink, sweltering brick
Hippy's weren't happy all the time Aurelie! Hippies stopped the war in Vietnam, they started public protest on a level no society had ever seen, they changed the world. So I think you have it wrong.
