The AMP'D-UP TEAMS Formula

PURSUE POSITIVITY PURPOSEFULLY Get your people to stop waiting for culture to magically appear. Instead, have them intentionally create moments of joy that pulse energy through the entire organisation.

BRING THE BUZZ, NOT THE BLUES Create a positivity flywheel within your company. Shift your people's mood from dragging the room down to showing up with contagious energy that lifts others.

FILL HEARTS, NOT JUST INBOXES Help your teams quit chasing productivity as if it’s a solo act, and instead perform acts - of kindness - that amplify camaraderie.

CHOOSE CONNECTION OVER COMFORT Encourage your people to overcome the comfort of remote work and individual schedules, shifting teams to prioritise “me” to “we”.

CUT THE GOSSIP & CUE COURAGE Replace backchannel chatter with conversations that build trust, and keep teams in harmony.

SEE ROLES AS GUIDELINES, NOT GUARDRAILS Help your people find and use their true strengths and go beyond the limits of their job description instead of waiting for permission to improvise boldly.

BECOME FEEDBACK FANATICS. Create performance powerhouses in your teams by shifting the mindset on feedback from a tick-box obligation to welcoming it like an encore.

CREATE CURIOSITY, NOT CONCLUSIONS Enable your people to replace judgment with questions, assume positive intent, and open the door to better collaboration.

Evelina uses the science of happiness to help your people achieve sustainable high performance.

Key Takeaways

How to make joy a daily habit that fuels resilience and clarity. "Do things not just because they are productive. Do things also for the way they make you feel."
Why energy is contagious, and how to show up in a way that lifts the room. "Our mood is contagious. Make yours worth catching".
How to stretching beyond job descriptions is a career advantage. "No-one ever grew by saying - That's not in my job description."
How to move from isolation and gossip to trust and harmony. "Gossip is like the dog turd that gets swept up in your robovac. Deal with it fast or you'll be dealing with it forever."
Why kindness and connection outperform productivity hacks. "We need to be spending more time filling hearts. Not inboxes."
Why feedback is the encore that drives mastery, and how to attract it. "There's only ever one answer you'll get to the question - do you have any feedback for me?"
How curiosity beats assumptions to unlock smarter decisions and stronger cultures. "The safest assumption you can make, is that you're wrong."

Through science, live experiments and music, Evelina reveals how our brain’s default wiring can quietly sabotage our happiness - and how to rewire it. Your people will learn...
