EP 112. The Skills of Happiness: How to Build a Happier Team and Lead Better with Declan Edwards

Happiness isn’t just an outcome - it’s a skillset you can practice, improve, and carry into every area of life.

In this episode, I talk with Declan Edwards, happiness researcher, coach, author, and founder of BU Happiness College. Declan shares how he turned his own struggles into a global mission to teach the science of happiness and why these skills are essential for leaders today.

In this episode, we talk about:

- Why happiness is a skill, not an outcome

- The 5 core skills every emerging leader needs to develop

- How happiness at work drives productivity, performance, and retention

- Practical ways to practice happiness skills daily that benefit your work and life

- The ripple effect leaders have on their teams (and how to make it positive)

If you’ve ever felt like happiness was just out of reach, or you’ve questioned how to balance being human with being a leader, this episode will give you the tools and the hope to start shifting things today.
