Smiley is one of the top workplace culture keynote speakers in the world. Smiley helps companies and teams build a culture of belonging, human connection, and team collaboration in the Age of AI.

In the Age of Artificial Intelligence, marked by rapid transformation, uncertainty, market volatility, and a weakened labor market; only 20 percent of employees globally are engaged at work, costing the world economy $438 billion in lost productivity. 40 percent don’t feel connected to their teams and 40 percent don’t trust their coworkers. 50 percent of Americans are lonely. Half of workers are burned out. Employees spend less time with their teams, less time with their friends, and more time alone, than ever before.

In a lonely, nonstop, disconnected, overwhelmed workplace; with wall-to-wall Zoom meetings, 24/7 Teams messages, AI agents, and the rapid adoption of GenAI & ChatGPT; the value of meaningful human connection increases exponentially and the heart of business is about building a culture of belonging for your leaders, your teams, and your clients and customers. High-levels of employee belonging create a 56% increase in job performance, a 50% drop in turnover risk, and save a company $52 million a year.
