Zany, Zeal, Zest and Zing, The Z Way To Happiness
The pursuit of happiness is a big deal to many people. Selfhelp bookshelves are filled with volumes of this topic. In our fastpaced urban society,it is common for us to experience unpleasant emotions that may cause us unhappiness. The reality is that no one is exempted from problems but it’s how we cope with them.

Called Z Way to Happiness, the workshop was conducted by Ms Zaibun Siraj, a sought-after trainer, motivational speaker and author of critically-acclaimed books on management and happiness.

Renowned for its energy, fun and thorough knowledge of subject, the session lived up to its promise through interactive lectures, discussions, experiential activities, presentations, individual exercises and group work. From being zany to having zest, participants were taught some strategies on how to bring back the zing into their lives, using a unique formula; learnt about the good characteristics of a happy worker; discovered ways to smile and laugh more; applied some methods to inculcate happiness and improve wellbeing.
By the end of the workshop, participants picked up practical steps to improve and enhance their relationships with their spouse, children, colleagues and friends. The outcome is a happier person and an employee that is more creative and productive.
