Hi! I’m Carly Cannings and I’m on a mission to help organisations build people-centric workplace cultures, where happy people can thrive. 

With 20 years in the corporate world (as a lawyer, would you believe?) I left my senior leadership role because I had a realisation: happy people = successful organisations. It’s that simple.  

My approach is twofold - I give teams the tools and techniques they need to become more joyful at work and I guide leaders to create environments where their people can truly flourish.

I’m passionate about the difference between being a good employer and a great employer, between an ok workplace and a place people love to work. My role? To help organisations close that gap, and go from good to great. And it’s win-win, because when people thrive so do the organisations they work in.

I work with organisations of all shapes and sizes, in Bristol where I’m based and further afield. Most of my clients are large SMEs or corporates from a mix of industries, but I also love working with smaller businesses when the fit is right. What matters most is where you are on your cultural journey and your appetite for greatness.

Some of the organisations I work with have specific challenges—maybe a not-so-great staff survey, a leadership shake-up or a need to bring their values off the wall and into the everyday. Others just want to infuse some joy into their workplace with a keynote or leadership away day that’s both uplifting and thought-provoking.

Sound like your kind of thing? Let’s chat about how we can make your organisation a truly great place to work. Drop me an email at hello@thehappybusinessschool.co.uk or fill in the contact form.
