Part Two. Who wouldn’t want more joy at work?
In this two-part series, we meet Rahshea Cardiff, VP of Partnerships at Happy Companies—a business on a mission to make workplaces happier and healthier. With two decades of experience at big names like Best Buy, Starbucks, and Microsoft, Rahshea knows what it takes to elevate employee experiences.
But there’s more to her story than impressive titles. Rahshea has faced her share of life’s curveballs—losing her mom, navigating a divorce, and raising her first child—all while managing major career shifts.
In yesterday's episode, she opened up about how resilience had shaped her journey and what had inspired her to join Happy Companies. Tune in for insights into how she’s using her life lessons to redefine workplace happiness.
And don’t miss Part Two today, where we’ll dive into her mission of merging tech with heart and her bold vision for transforming modern workplaces.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:Unbecoming to Become: Shedding What Isn’t You
"Maybe it’s not about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t who you really are."
The Power of Staying True to Yourself
“I was told I needed to change who I was… to fit into somebody’s picture of what they thought I should be. Instead, I learned to step into who I am and be proud of it.”
Unlocking a Team’s Full Potential through Behavioral Insights
“With Happy, leaders get a snapshot of every team member—how they’re wired, their strengths, their energy drivers, and what drains them.”
Putting a Personalized Coach at Every Leader’s Fingertips
“Happy’s platform essentially puts a one-on-one coach at the fingertips of every leader and employee, including self-coaching to improve communication and motivation.”
Human Stories and Tech-Driven Scalability: A Perfect Balance
“Technology is terrific for us at Happy; it provides the behavioral insight, but it’s that human coach who can tell the story, make it personal, and take it to the next level of impact.”
