The Work Happiness Project 

The mission of The Work Happiness Project is to humanise the digital work environment by connecting remote teams stronger than wifi. I have created a set of fun, yet, meaningful team building workshops to help your team get to know each other outside of work, connect deeper with each other - and themselves. So that they can work from anywhere while still feeling connected to everyone. 

My big goal is to inspire employees to thrive - not just survive by redefining the definition of a holistically happy life to help them live up to their fullest potential - personally & professionally. 

HOW?
By helping employees to charge their own batteries first, to then be able to give more to others and eventually create a positive ripple effect into every area of their lives and everyone they encounter. 

Therefore all of my workshops are based on the three pillars:  
Live fuller. Connect deeper. Be happier.

They range from Bucket List workshops, customised Christmas parties to Digital Detox workshops and "no smalltalk virtual coffee breaks" with my own icebreaker game eyeConnect - stronger than wifi.   

As a people enthusiast and an advocate for the Future Of (Remote) Work, my services range from:
● Fractional Head Of Remote Culture & Connection
● Fractional “Chief Of Happiness At Work” Officer
● Team Building Facilitator For Online & Off-site Retreats
● Keynote Speaker & Webinar Host

eyeConnect - make connections stronger than wifi.

eyeConnect is the first (and only) Digital Detox game for everyone who prefers smiles over likes and real emotions over emoticons. 

Created to get you off your phone and talk to real humans and to make you & your conversations become more interesting than social media. 

As the creator of this game, I believe that the world is full of interesting people with exciting stories to tell. The problem is that we are so busy with not missing out in the online world that we so often forget to be present in the offline world.

I thought that needs to change. 

So instead of making phones more uninteresting, I decided to focus on the bright side of life - and simply make people more interesting. 

How? By skipping the small talk and asking better questions to get more out of your conversations - and make connections stronger than wifi. 

That's when eyeConnect was born.

Co-Founder

Certified Bucket List Coach®

As a Bucket List Coach I believe that when people thrive, organisations thrive! 
That's why I help remote work teams to create a positive corporate culture across borders by creating & taking action on each team member's individual action plan for a more fulfilled life - personally & professionally.

Based on programs that implement the holistic 12-steps M.Y.B.U.C.K.E.T.L.I.S.T. Blueprint TM formula, I encourage individuals & corporate teams to experience more meaning, sense of purpose, and fulfilment in their lives and, in turn, an inspired culture for their organization.

I believe that companies who serve as a springboard rather than a barrier to help their employees reach their personal goals, will be rewarded with highly driven & energetic employees who, in turn, help you reach your corporate goals.

When employees are working to attain passion and progress in every area of their life, they have the emotional resources to invest in their work. They begin to feel positive, their brain is now free to think, be more creative and better at solving problems.

Especially in times of an all-time mental illness peak (see brochure attached), recognition and investing in the personal development of your employees has never been more important.

My mission is therefore to change the perspective on goal-setting so it not only benefits the bottom line of your organisation but also your employees lives and vice versa. 

Ultimately, happy employees make happy profits.  
(And let's be honest, who would NOT want to work for the "Bucket List" company? ;))

Certified Bucket List Coach 

Self Employed

Speaker about "Phubbing- When touchschreens make us lose touch" 

The anti-social art of phubbing (phone& snubbing) describes the effect of engaging with our smartphone in the presence of others and its detrimental consequences on our social relationships and work life. 

In my lecture, I give a profound overview about the latest research on the widely unknown yet omnipresent social phenomenon 'phubbing', how it detrimentally affects our relationships
and how we as both, individuals and business people, can successfully contribute to stop human interaction from dying out.

MORE VULNERABILITY, please 🙌 - ….because even the most successful CEO in this room gets nervous before a date 😬 

Long story short 📖: 
If you want to talk to anyone - brag with your achievements. 
If you want to make friends - make people feel good. 
But you want to connect deeply - be vulnerable! 

Besides meeting all my favourite old & new LinkedIn peeps offline, my second highlight was turning my vision board moment into reality and being invited to speak on the big stage at Running Remote 🎤 

Not because it feels cool to stand on a big stage (..okay maybe a little 😬) but because sharing my purpose-driven message on stage allows me to inspire even more people to connect deeper a work & in life by simply being nothing more - or less - than their real, raw-some & authentic selves! 💁‍♀️ 

For everyone who missed the talk, here’s the core essence to reach even more people - short story long: 👇 :

*inserting virtual mic 🎤 * 

Hi, my name is Nini and my job is to make people at work happy - or at least give them the tools to make themselves happy by building healthier & happier company cultures that focus on the human beings, not just the human doings. 💁‍♀️ 

As it turns out, “happiness” isn’t just a nice buzzword - it is actually our strongest predictor for long-lasting high performance at work. 
Because it's happier people who make happier profits. 🤑 

So how do we make ourselves happy? 🤔 

Harvard’s 85 year long study on happiness got it! The #1 indicator for a long, fulfilling & happy life is the quality - not the quantity - of our relationships. 👴 

It’s the deep connections that make our lives worth living & our time at work more fun! 🤩 

And now, what’s the secret sauce for those deep meaningful connections that are built to last?🤔

What a lot of people get wrong about connection is that they think bragging with external achievements is getting people excited to hang out with you (nope, that actually backfires) or making people feel good around you instantly creates a connection, but that’s not how the magic works. 
At least not for a REAL connection that is build to last.🗝️

Let me drop the bomb 💣: VULNERABILITY is the super glue for real connection! It’s once we let someone see through the cracks and share the parts of us that not everyone gets to see, that’s when we build trust, empathy & a genuine bond. It’s the glimpse of “oh, you’re also a human being” when real connection happens.👩‍❤️‍👩

Vulnerability is not about being weak, it’s the new strong by daring to say that you messed up, that you need help or saying “I love you first” - even without knowing what’s on the other side. 💪🪞 

It’s when we shift from the facade of a 2D human doing to connecting with the true core of another 3D human being - that’s how we build connections that are build to last in business, in love & in life ❤️ 

(Since I’m running out of maximum letters in a post, find the vulnerability exercise we did on the pictures in the comment below 👇) 

Running Remote 2024 🎉 - the big get-together of the Freedom Chasers, Future Of Work Trailblazers, the CEOs in flip-flops and the inspiring 8-figure founder wonder-woman who offers a “joy budget” to her employees.✊🩴

It was that time of the year again to meet my old & new LinkedIn friends offline for the annual “High school reunion” of the Remote Graduation Class we never had! Can confirm: No one’s catfishing!🎣

Valuable Insights?🤓
I could write a lengthy post about all the valuable insights I’ve gained but truth be told: I actually got to watch the recording of most talks as I was simply too busy catching up with my LinkedIn friends offline. (*virtual pinky promise*, the insights will come 🍿).

As a passionate people’s person through and through, I prioritize to focus my first insights on what matters most to me: It’s the people!👇

🔋 Surround yourself with people who lift you up!
To me, Running Remote is the conference that doesn’t drain my social batteries but supercharges them instead because I’m constantly inspired by the people around me. Three years ago I was listening to podcasts on my morning run from those people I now co-create with to shape the #futureofwork-teams. Remember, you are the average of the five people you spend most your time with, so choose wisely!

📵The best connections are still made offline.
While enjoying the life of the location-independent for 362 of the year, THIS is the time where connection magic happens. Whether creating new projects, building mutually beneficial strategic partnerships ooor raving until 6AM at an Underground Club. Real connections are still made offline!💃

📈 A little consistency can go a long way.
Never underestimate the compounding effect of saying YES to that podcast, sharing one more virtual coffee with a stranger or host that free community event. You never know who listens and the ripple effect it can cause. I’ve met people here whose Bucket Lists I created years ago and they proudly shared their latest tick-offs, someone whose company retreat I hosted and since then implements self-care into his daily life.

✨ Your vibe attracts your tribe!
If you show up as your true authentic self, you attract people who resonate with who you are at the core and these are YOUR kind of people. Whether this is your “HELL YES” company culture, your tribe of like-minded freelancers or inspiring solopreneurs. Running Remote is my annual reminder that there’s a whole world of like-minded people like me out there who enjoy their freedom just as much as pursuing their professional goals and make an impact to make this world/ the future of work a little bit better than we’ve found it.

…I’d seriously fly halfway across the world to spend 3 days with these people (which is exactly what I did).🚀

Ingenious Life hacks with Nini & ChatGPT - lesson #44 👩‍🏫: Dear diary, who am I, really? Why ChatGPT is the most honest friend you’ve never had!

One of my new favourite hobbies is to use Al to enhance our human connection - instead of replacing it. 🤝 

That counts for our connection with others as well as for the most important one of all: The one we have with ourselves.🧘‍♀️ 

After all, I believe the more we connect with ourselves, the deeper we can connect with the people around us. 👩‍❤️‍👩

So here’s a random fact about me 🤓: 
In order to keep up with my own life, I’ve been journaling for over 6 years. 
Every. Single. Day. 📝 

Now it’s getting nerdy…

As the CEO of my life, I use my unplugged offline time on long flights to hold quarterly board-meetings with myself to reflect on my highlights, challenges, growth moments and learnings🧐

Until I recently I came up with the ingenious idea to upload my journal summary on ChatGPT with the prompt 💡:

“Based on everything you know about me, please analyse my personality and give me some strategic advice on how to overcome my challenges.” 🤖 

Let me tell you THIS 🤯: 
I’ve done a lot of personal development and spiritual energy work but best believe, this AI “SWOT analysis” of myself was the most accurate, profound - and brutally honest analysis of my personality ever conducted in Nini-history! 🎯 

100% based on the 360 degree information I fed it myself. No judgement, no biases, no sugarcoating. 

While its tangible action steps to improve my flaws have worked wonders to become even more of who I am at my core & level up my game for the next chapter ahead. 🚀 

I can shockingly confirm: AI has officially outsmarted myself from understanding myself 🤓 🔫 

(⚠️ Disclaimer for this post: Not saying AI can replace professional therapy (it DOESN'T!) but trying this hack out for yourself has the potential to save you some precious hours… and pennies 🤑) 

Plus: Daily journaling, self-reflection & gratitude exercises might work their healing magic either way ❤️‍🩹) 

I’m not a fortune teller but I truly enjoyed predicting the Future Of Team Work with my fellow culture shaker & curator Dan Kasper from Instill in this podcast episode 🔮🎙️
