ALIGN YOUR TEAM ABOUT THE ‘WHY’ AND ‘WHAT’ OF “CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE” AND HOW THEY CAN INFLUENCE CUSTOMER AND EMPLOYEES’ PERCEPTION
Both Customer Experience (CX) and Employee Experience (EX) are the perceptions each customer or employee has of their interactions with an organization.
“Great Customer Experiences don’t happen by accident!”
K. Bodine & H. Manning
“Most meaningful and impactful Customer Experiences are HCX… Human-Centered & Happiness-Contributing Experience”
Rosaria Cirillo
I believe the future of both CX and EX is HCX “Human-Centered and Happiness-Contributing Experience”.
Your company will thrive when you:
- design and deliver products, services, and experiences that are meaningful and life-enriching for customers.
- apply business models that treat employees, customers, and society, all as human beings with a common shared goal: a peaceful, sustainable, healthy, and happy life.

“The ability to adjust to the topics we are most interested in, provide best practice examples on these topics and tailor them on our business and what we could do to achieve our goals.

About UPPINESS GAME
World-famous Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar and Organizational psychologists Dalia Feldheim and Oren Appel – have developed an exciting game for organizations. It is an interactive and fun online game that boosts happiness at work by enabling participants to learn tools and solutions from the sciences of happiness at work and positive psychology.
The game is played at virtual tables with 6 participants. You have both individual and collective goals. The personal objective is to collect as many Upper tokens as you can to win. The group objective is to solve as many game challenges as possible. In the beginning of the game, players select their strengths (the game supports both VIA Strengths and Clifton Strengths classification) and get assigned four random cards representing the solutions they can propose in 4 positive psychology areas:
∙ Physical solutions
∙ Intellectual/Mental solutions
∙ Relational/Social solutions
∙ Emotional solutions
Strengths and solutions are then used to address two types of challenges:
∙ Questions – work-related dilemmas that need to be solved.
∙ Actions – energy-increasing tasks that need to be done.
A game can last 60 to 90 minutes depending on the number of rounds and participants. At the end of the game, there is a debrief session to discuss learning, solutions proposed, and commitment to actions.
Listen to our clients:
“It was a great experience to have this very interactive and fun workshop during which there was never the feeling of a coach telling you something but instead we explored together in different ways”
“This was a very useful session to be reminded that we are all different but that we can use our differences in a positive way to find better solutions as a team”

Virtual workplaces bring challenges when it comes to reaching strategic decisions with your management team or celebrating previous achievements. Is your team hungry for more in-person discussions to thrive these days? Do you need something special to recognize your team thriving despite the pandemic and the new working-from-home standard?
In a bespoke and engaging session, your management team will experience flow and happiness and develop excellent results that would otherwise not emerge in a virtual brainstorming meeting.
PARTICIPANTS
This Happiness Booster Session with Intuitive Painting is beneficial for management teams.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Improve team communication. Solve real workplace challenges. Enhance positive organizational culture. Get mobilized for personal, interpersonal, and team success.
FORMAT
Up to 4 hours, virtual or in-person. This session brings best results when facilitated in person.
Listen to our clients:
“Do you achieve happiness through wealth or through status? Probably not singularly through either of those things. Material things do not provide long term happiness to anyone, duh, most of us know that but many people think they will achieve happiness once they hit that next career goal or next level status. Many times, pushing to burnout without understanding what really brings you happiness and balance in your life.
Sooooo, what makes you happy? If this is any indicator, the best part of the retreat for many of us was the intuitive painting. Never would have guessed it but the view from 10,000 feet and our fabulous teacher, Rosaria made this such a spectacular experience!
She seriously brought us right back to our younger days, no cares in the world. Appreciating the views and the company we were in.”
