A refreshing and unconventional take on the world of work.
Perfect for fans of Brené Brown and Cal Newport, Today Was Fun challenges the notion that professionalism means being buttoned up and overworked and provides seven key rules for better days at work and in life.
Bree Groff weaves together personal anecdotes, research, humor, and practical wisdom, outlining a compelling vision of modern workplaces that make people feel human and alive. Groff provides concrete strategies for implementation, from Do Nothing Days for inducing brilliant work to building a Portfolio Life that ensures work remains only one of many fulfilling things we do.
An irreverent guide for a rising generation of leaders, Today Was Fun is poised to spark vital conversations about how we spend our days and to drive real change in organizations-promoting a fuller, more joyful life both in and out of the office. Bree Groff, a leading voice in the future of work and company culture, is a senior advisor at the global consultancy SYPartners. Her clients have included C-suite leaders at Target, Pfizer, Microsoft, Calvin Klein, NBCUniversal, and Alphabet. Groff seeks to usher in the future of work such that people have better days-especially Monday to Friday. She lives in NYC with her husband and daughter.
"Presenting this liberating guide, the author, a corporate consultant, sounds like anything but as she asks listeners to lighten up and have a good time at work. Her cute personal stories, spontaneous writing style, and training examples are infectious, making the case that we'd all be happier and more productive with a looser and more joyous approach to whatever work we're doing. The positive energy in Bree Groff's youthful performance is perfect for this message. Combining the tone of a fearless pioneer with entertaining irreverence works well to draw listeners to her adventuresome personality as much as her ideas and suggestions. Her persuasive message and performance are tastefully enhanced by musical clips and other sound embellishments that mark transitions or add color to the listening.
