Season 14 of the Internal Comms Podcast kicks off with a conversation about happiness.

Host Katie Macaulay welcomes Professor Catherine Sanderson to discuss what really makes us happy. The internal comms hook? As internal communicators, we’re often asked to promote wellbeing initiatives at work; the link between happiness and productivity is clear.

Together Katie and Catherine – a professor of psychology at Amherst College, celebrated speaker and bestselling author – discuss how happiness is not a trait but a choice, not a gift but a practice.

They also explore what happens when leaders model the right and wrong behaviours and why good people stay silent in the face of wrongdoing, the core theme of Catherine’s book, Why We Act: Turning Bystanders into Moral Rebels. If you’re running a speak up campaign – or planning one (AB can help!) – this one is for you.

As this episode goes live, we’re entering the final quarter of the year. So it is perhaps the best time to listen to someone who devotes their working life and substantial intellect to help people ‘lead happier, healthier, better lives.’
