Dave Caperton
Like you, joy specialist, author and speaker Dave Caperton has highs and lows. Some people may believe that joyfulness is rejection of reality, but that, he says, is a misconception that prevents them from tapping into a powerful force for personal happiness and organizational success. “Joyfulness isn’t living in denial of the negatives, it’s living in defiance of them!”
Dave blends laughter, solid research and storytelling to teach corporations, individuals and groups how living and working with intentional joy is an act of leadership, courage and a disciplined will. It’s not about avoiding or denying pain—which is impossible—but about maintaining joyfulness as a default mode. It’s like the “king of the hill” game we played as kids. Joyful people aren’t always happy, but they are committed to joyfulness no matter what. They don’t waste energy whining and they use response choices like humor to get back to joy…

You'll also learn the strategies to disrupt it.

The Amazing Power of One
How can one person make a difference? You’re more powerful than you think. A recent study concluded that the actions of one driver can unsnarl a traffic jam. Another study concludes that a single positive person is influential up to a third degree of separation (Fowler and Christakis, 2008). That means one person’s impact not only lifts up the people with whom he or she comes in direct contact but people with whom that person interacts and those with whom that person connects! It’s fair to say that one person's actions can be amplified in ways that can change the customer experience, a work culture, a community, perhaps even the world. You'll come away with an appreciation that you are more powerful than you ever realized to be the difference you'd like to see at work, at home and in the world around you.
