“You can hit every KPI, drive results, and still watch morale quietly crumble. I know—because I’ve lived it. From growing up in silence as an immigrant daughter, to facing burnout and the chaos of menopause, I’ve learned that happiness isn’t a perk—it’s a practice. In my keynote, I teach leaders and teams simple, science-backed habits that spark motivation, build trust, and create cultures where people want to stay and thrive. Happiness isn’t fluff—it’s fuel, and it can transform your workplace.”~Alexia Georghiou
