Is Your Team Wagalicious?
Don't they deserve to be?
What the What is "Wagalicious?"
So glad you asked!
Wagalicious is an attitude and a mindset...
Wagalicious is how a top-winning show dog looks and behaves...
Wagalicious is how your dog acts when you walk through the door, no matter how long you've been gone!
When you feel wagalicious, you feel confident, capable, and maybe even a bit capricious!
When your team feels wagalicious, they are happier, more cooperative, and work together better than ever!
Now don't you want some wagalicious in your life?

I appreciated learning the happiness toolbox strategies. Hearing the stories reminded me I’m not alone. I plan to start mastering the rainstorm after that inspiring session.

Veterinarians' stress is unique - we understand and are here to help.
Though what we teach is useful information for anyone who wishes to be more successful, at the Center for Workplace Happiness our focus is on the veterinary field. Stress unaddressed too often leads to a feeling of helplessness, then hopelessness, then a decision that can't be taken back. Suicide is too prevelant among veterinarians and their teams. It's our goal to create resilience in those who give so much to others every day. Thank you for what you do - let's talk about how we can be of service to you.
