Productivity catalyst, highly sensitive executive coach, and international speaker Clare Kumar examines the intersection of productivity and inclusivity – paying attention to both being and doing. She inspires individuals to design for well-being and cultivate sustainable performance while avoiding exhaustion and burnout. Clare encourages leaders to design inclusive performance to invite the richest contributions from every member of their team. This is a topic Clare explores with innovators as host of the Happy Space Podcast.

Clare draws on a diverse corporate career that took her from Toronto to Tokyo and Montreal, with equal experience as an entrepreneur. She is a sought-after media contributor to news and lifestyle shows including the Huffington Post, Fast Company, the Globe and Mail, CBC Radio, The Social, and the Marilyn Denis Show. Whether speaking to one person or thousands, Clare loves inspiring massive shifts by inviting you to pay attention to little things that make a big difference. She welcomes all highly sensitive professionals as well as those who want to love and support them to find community in the Happy Space Pod.

With the podcast reaching its 1 year anniversary in April, I realized I was feeling compelled to widen the perspective of the podcast. High sensitivity will always be the lens through which I perceive the world and sometimes be the subject of what we explore, but through giving leadership workshops all through the pandemic about how leaders need to evolve to invite their team’s best performance, it seemed time to look at challenges and opportunities more comprehensively - to benefit wider groups of marginalized individuals. 

We all deserve an opportunity for rich and fulfilling lives. Since giving is the precursor to receiving, we all deserve an opportunity to be contribute. Indeed, everyone deserves a Happy Space.
