Confessions of a Happiness-First CEO: 37 Years of Proving The Sceptics Wrong

Tuesday, 30 June 2026

In 1987, Henry Stewart founded a business focused on happiness. Despite initial skepticism, he has demonstrated its success over nearly 40 years.
 
Happy Ltd has been recognized as the second-best workplace in the UK, 15th in Europe, and the top workplace for women. The company also maintains a permanent four-day workweek.
 
In this session, Henry shares his experiences, including failures and lessons learned, to show that trust and freedom are essential for business success.
 
What you’ll come away with:
 

  • Proof that trust and freedom drive measurable business performance, from retention to productivity
  • Hard-won lessons from 40 years of running a happiness-first business, failures included
  • Confidence to challenge orthodox management thinking and introduce more freedom into your own team

 
Be prepared to have your management beliefs challenged by the extraordinary business dynamo.
