 - Topic - 
Power of Positivity

Michelle Gielan, national CBS News anchor turned positive psychology researcher, is the bestselling author of Broadcasting Happiness.

Michelle is the Founder of the Institute for Applied Positive Research and is partnered with Arianna Huffington to study how transformative stories fuel success. She is an Executive Producer of “The Happiness Advantage” Special on PBS and a featured professor in Oprah’s Happiness course.

Michelle holds a Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, and her research and advice have received attention from The New York Times, Washington Post, FORBES, CNN, FOX, and Harvard Business Review.

It Pays to be Positive

New research from the fields of positive psychology and neuroscience shows that small shifts to the way we communicate can create big ripple effects on business outcomes, including:

  • 25% Greater Performance Ratings 
  • 31% Higher Productivity
  • 37% Higher Sales
  • 23% Lower Stress

The objective of this event is to deliver an entertaining and relaxing program that inspires women to set higher expectations for themselves and learn how to adapt and find their purpose in life. The event also offers an outstanding networking opportunity with members of Fox Valley Women’s networks from the sponsoring organizations. Note - that while women are the target for attendance, men are welcome to attend.

What is the FEI Diversity Group?

FEI National continues to encourage local chapters to focus on diversity within our membership. Women executives face a unique set of challenges in balancing their careers and personal lives. This special interest group is focused on exploiting the talents of individuals and creating opportunities to improve personally and professionally. As a result, we hope to increase membership in our chapter and create additional ways for our female members to be engaged in the FEI experience.

This Diversity Group Event is open to those who are: 

  • Members of FEI NE Wisconsin Chapter
  • Managers and executives within an FEI member’s company
  • Representatives of our Strategic Partner companies
  • Prospective chapter members
  • Guests of any of the above
