Learning from a great teacher, from the certificate program and the MA in Happiness Studies enables me to be a better leader, a better coach and trainer. I bring happiness into organizations and teams, applying what I have learned through coaching and training, helping organizations become wholebeing organizations, individuals achieve whole-person wellbeing and success. I am devoting my life to the Happiness Revolution, joining Tal to spread happiness to the world.

"A must-do for those who seek a journey of growth"
It was with Tal that I became passionate about the science of happiness. He has taught me about the underestimated importance of both "the geniality of the and”, and the courage to do “me-search”, to inspire an ever-evolving path in life that combines meaning, wellbeing and success.
Tal and his programs are a must-do for those who seek a journey of growth, fulfillment and happiness.
