The Power of Sexual Energy in the Workplace: A New Paradigm for Happiness and Success at Work
When we talk about sexual energy, it often brings up images of intimacy and desire, and often brings a discomfort to the fore. But what if I told you that sexual energy — the life force that fuels attraction, passion, and creativity — is also one of the most powerful assets you can bring to your work?
Sexual energy is not just about sex. It’s about presence, vitality, charisma, and the ability to engage with people and opportunities. It’s the spark that fuels our confidence, enhances our ability to connect deeply with others, and gives us the courage to take risks, innovate, and lead with authenticity. Sex is a pro-creative force, so your sexual energy wants you to connect, collaborate and connect with others.

Nigel Paine at Creating Happy Workplaces Conference 2013
Nigel Paine headed the BBC’s Learning and Development operation. He built an award winning Leadership programme, state of the art informal learning and knowledge sharing and one of the most successful and well used intranets in the corporate sector.
Love, Kindness and Patience are the Keys to Leadership, Says Caron Bradshaw
“Leadership is a term, much like ‘strategy’, that is misused and misunderstood. I don’t believe that being a leader is about being the CEO, hierarchy, wielding power and control or having all the answers. Yet leaders can have a hard time breaking out of the traditional concepts of leadership and embracing a different approach. And others fail to recognise their own leadership qualities considering themselves too junior or lacking that leadership ‘title’,” says Caron Bradshaw OBE.
Caron will be speaking at the 2024 Happy Workplaces Conference on 15th May on the topic of Leading with Love.
Giving Your Employees Freedom is the Key to Success, Says Isaac Getz
“In every aspect of our lives — in politics, in economics, in entertainment, and in family life — we demand the freedom to decide matters for ourselves. And yet when it comes to our work lives, far too many people are stifled, constrained, hemmed in, and tied down by bureaucracy and rules that have nothing to do with allowing them to do the best they can in their jobs. These constraints leave people feeling out of control of their work lives, which, in turn, leads to stress, fatigue, and disengagement from work.”
Isaac Getz is an author, senior business advisor and professor at the ESCP Business School. He is an instrumental figure in the modern corporate liberation movement and has worked with numerous companies across Europe and in Canada. Isaac will be speaking at our 2024 Happy Workplaces Conference on Wednesday 15th May.

Sarah Pugh Shares 15 Tips for Creating a Happy Workplace
At the 2021 Happy Workplaces Conference, we had a fabulous presentation from Sarah Pugh. I ask the speakers at our conferences to share ‘nickable’ ideas that people can put into practice and Sarah came up with no less than 15 of these.
Sarah has just become Chief Executive of Whizz Kidz, so a lot of this relates to when she was CEO at Heart of Kent Hospice.
Could a 4 Day Week Work in Your Sector? Yes!
At Happy we are engaged in the UK four-day working week pilot, with 70 UK companies testing the idea from June to November 2022.
We’ve had huge interest, with my blogs on LinkedIn getting up to 10 times as many views as my other posts. But some respond by saying that it wouldn’t work in their sector.
So I was very interested to read the book Shorter: How Smart Companies Work Less, Embrace Flexibility and Boost Productivity by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang. This gives a whole range of examples from different sectors.
