Emerge: A Program for Young Professionals hosted an inspiring conversation with Jessica Lyonford, best-selling author of The Happy Leader Playbook: A Science-Backed Guide to Supercharging Energy and Impact. Together, we explored an energizing question: What if happiness isn’t the reward, but the strategy?
Jessica guided attendees through the new rules of leadership, highlighting how happiness, energy, and authenticity can unlock thriving teams and sustainable impact. Designed especially for emerging and purpose-driven leaders, the discussion left attendees with practical tools that they could take back into their workplaces and daily lives.
The conversation sparked meaningful reflection on how we show up as leaders, how we sustain our energy, and how purpose-driven approaches can shift not only our careers but also our communities.
Curious about what’s next? The EMERGE series is created by and for emerging professionals in the Chamber community. Join us for upcoming sessions and connect with peers who share your drive to make a difference. Learn more and get involved.
