Evidence Backed Ways To Scale Your Impact Without Burning Out With Happiness Hacker, Penny Locaso
I am excited to welcome Penny Locaso to The Debra Shepherd Podcast. Penny is the world’s first Happiness Hacker on a quest to teach 10 million humans, by 2025 how to flourish in life. Voted one of the most influential female entrepreneurs in Australia, Penny is her own ongoing experiment.
Penny is a Happiness Hacker, international speaker, published author and adaptability researcher, budding psychologist, podcaster and yoga teacher.
With over 20 years’ experience in enabling adaptability Penny's calling is to empower people to release their fear of uncertainty, find their flow, and flourish.
Penny works with governments, corporations, and educators to build a more intentionally adaptable society. She has partnered with the likes of Google, Microsoft, Booking.com, SalesForce, Deloitte, and LuluLemon, to name a few.
Penny’s work creating the world-first Intentional Adaptability Quotient® (IAQ®) psychometric tool and education program was recently published in the American Consulting Journal of Psychology. IAQ® decodes the skills required to not only navigate but flourish in complex and uncertain change.
