Finding More Joy in Your Work – A Surprising Path to More Wins

We track our sleep, our steps, our heart rate, our productivity. It seems we track everything…except our joy. 

We obsess about longevity. But what about joyevity? It’s the kind of joy that fuels your work, leadership and your life.

So in this episode, Gayle Lantz shifts the conversation from simply enduring the pressures of leadership to something equally essential: experiencing genuine fulfillment in the work you do. This isn’t about forced positivity or pretending the hard stuff doesn’t exist. It’s about the kind of joy that actually makes you a better leader.

As Gayle explains, joy isn’t something you find when you win or when things finally calm down. It’s something you cultivate right now, in the middle of the chaos.

Drawing on a powerful example from the Olympic ice skating rink, Gayle makes a compelling case that joy isn’t just a byproduct of winning. It can be the reason you win.

If leadership has been feeling heavy lately, this episode is your invitation to lighten the load–not by doing less, but by tuning into what’s already there that you might be missing.

This episode covers:

• Why joy is a performance asset, not a luxury
• The difference between joy and forced positivity
• How to access joy even when you’re overloaded
• The practice of appreciation vs. fleeting gratitude
• How to interrupt the downward spiral before it takes hold
• Why being yourself is at the heart of joyful leadership
