Ānanda (Sanskrit: आनन्द) means bliss or happiness.
Our mission?
To transform your workplace into a haven of joy and productivity.
People work better when they’re relaxed and having fun. Let’s make a workplace where this is standard.
Hi, I’m Kate Schwen. I founded Ananda Executive because I believe we can have it all: fun, fulfillment and ridiculous business success.
My field of expertise is economics. That means I’m obsessed with efficiency and getting people to the point of optimal payoff.
I’m also a former burned-out employee & executive. That means I know what it’s like to be miserable and massively underperforming - and to not know why.
I figured out the same answer solves for both.
People are productive and creative by nature. We are natural problem solvers, we crave contribution, we need teamwork to thrive. When people are underperforming, it’s not because they’re lazy. It’s because something is blocking them from being themselves.
I help organizations dissolve their blocks to productivity and teamwork.
I show employees what’s going on internally that’s making them stressed and burned out, and how to change (it’s way easier than we think).
I reveal the barriers to great communication and teamwork, and shift the paradigm for how to develop authentic relationships to get more done together - both internally and with customers.
We believe in the power of happiness as the catalyst for change in the corporate world.
Our Philosophy: We're founded on the belief that happy employees are not just productive but also creative and innovative.
Our Mission: To dissolve blocks to productivity and teamwork, transforming your workplace into an environment where ideas flourish and people thrive.
Our Commitment: To generate massive culture change in a way that’s easy - so you can get more out of your people without adding work to your plate.
Join us on a transformative journey where happiness and productivity go hand in hand.
