Welcome from Sarah & Jenny

Jenny & Sarah met in Denmark in January 2019 as partners in The Woohoo Partnership, happiness at work community .

We immediately hit it off, and enjoyed a number of days in together getting inspired on our happiness at work journeys! When Jenny returned to Australia they kept up their connections, and collaborated on the Global Summit on Happiness at Work, and Jenny’s Book Launch. In 2020 after both failing to start our own Podcast, Jenny & Sarah decided to join forces and Thriving with Sarah & Jenny Podcast was born!

Now with more than 50 episodes - they have explored and inspired listeners through the pandemic, and out on how to THRIVE in life and in work.

In 2023 Jenny & Sarah finally decided to put their dream of hosting a retreat together and Thriving Leaders Retreat was born.

Meet Dr. Jenny Brockis


It took a big tumble from what I thought was my pathway to a happy and successful career to realise that much of what I believed important, was wrong.

Having started work as a nurse at St Thomas’ Hospital London and then transferring to study medicine at Bristol University, I knew I wanted to be of service, and enable others to enjoy happy and healthy lives.

There was just one thing missing. I forgot to factor in time for my own relationships and family, for fun and me. This contributed to several bouts of depression, perpetual anxiety and ultimately burnout that led to the loss of my business.

Today I work to empower others to realise their career success, feel fulfilled, and have a life by nurturing great places to work, speaking at conferences, and providing workshops and training.

I believe that doing great work helps you to create greater happiness and success in every facet of your life.

Jenny has undertaken additional training, becoming an internationally board-certified lifestyle medicine physician, has a diploma in positive psychology and is currently studying to become a well-being in nature consultant. She freely admits to being completely addicted to learning and also loves to write to share her thoughts and discoveries about how we can all fully thrive in life and work.

Meet Sarah Metcalfe

 
I was a newly appointed customer service leader in a technology startup when I stumbled across Tony Hsieh’s book “Delivering Happiness” and realised that what I had found was happiness at work. 

For the next 11 years, I dedicated myself to researching, training and then putting into practice the teachings of the science of happiness at work through my team and as a member of the senior leadership team as the company grew from startup, through acquisition and into large enterprise organisation.

I imagine a world of work, where instead of being stressed, drained and burned out, the workplace is somewhere where we can go to be filled up with positive energy. Leaving at the end of most work days with enough energy to enhances our lives, our homes, communities, and ultimately the world around us.

Sarah has spoken about Happiness in more than 20 countries around the world, and worked or keynoted with companies such as; L’Oreal, Lufthansa Cargo, Google, Salesforce, Happy Ltd, Abcam, Sabio, Lambeth Borough Council, Linklaters, and many others…

In July 2020, Sarah became co-leader of the Woohoo Partnership Network, a group of happiness at work experts, from thirty countries around the world. Through our partners we have helped to train over 100,000 people worldwide on being happier at work and provided training and keynotes to companies like Accenture, KPMG, LEGO, Shell, Microsoft, Nespresso to name a few.
