Tia suggests focusing on creating happiness in the workplace, defining and celebrating the organization's purpose, and involving everyone in the planning process to drive innovation and success.

Planning for people involves coaching, autonomy, a kind and caring culture, growth opportunities, bonding, DE&I initiatives, physical and mental health support, work-life balance, celebration, and community involvement.

Quotes “When people are happy while they're working, at all levels, they're going to be more successful and there's so much research that supports it.” “Progress in meaningful and purposeful work is the number one motivator.” “Everyone has an equal seat at the table when planning for next year, everyone has a say.” “Plan on celebrating your purpose.

Tia shares key takeaways from the interview and offers valuable insights and reflections for leaders and individuals, including: Negative experiences are a part of the human experience and can provide valuable lessons and insights. Feeling bad doesn't mean there's something wrong with you; it's simply information that you're human. Metacognition, the awareness and understanding of one's thought process, is instrumental in personal growth. Sharing our pain and vulnerabilities allows for deeper connections and empathy. Happiness comes from wanting less and appreciating what you already have. Faith and belief in something larger than yourself can contribute to happiness and well-being. Mindful use of social media can foster meaningful connections instead of mindless scrolling. Recognizing and understanding our emotional profiles can enhance self-awareness and emotional well-being. When feeling down, allow yourself to handle your emotions, practice gratitude, and have self-compassion. Quotes "The unhappiness, the unhappy times have something to reveal to you, something to show you." "Something's not wrong with you if you feel bad. It's information, and it means you're a human being." "Social media is the junk food of connection." "When you're down, feel. Allow yourself to feel all of your emotions… and then have gratitude."
