Lisa Reyna Returns from WOHASU® 2025 with Renewed Vision to Elevate Global Happiness and Well-Being
Houston, TX – March 18, 2025 – Lisa Reyna, Licensed Psychotherapist, Executive Coach, and Founder of the Leadership Happiness Institute™, has once again attended the World Happiness Summit (WOHASU®) 2025 in Miami, Florida. As a regular attendee since the first summit in 2017, Lisa returns each year to stay at the forefront of the latest research and science in happiness, leadership, and well-being.
This year’s event, themed “Hope & Connection,” brought together global thought leaders, educators, scientists, and practitioners committed to building a healthier, more connected world—at home, in the workplace, and across communities.
“The 2025 WOHASU® World Happiness Summit was truly incredible,” said Lisa Reyna. “From laughter to tears, deep reflection to bold inspiration, I left with renewed hope and evidence-based tools to help leaders and organizations thrive through happiness-driven strategies.”
Strengthening the Case for Social Connection
One of the most powerful themes of the summit was the science behind human connection and its impact on every aspect of life. Lisa highlighted how building and nurturing relationships plays a crucial role in well-being, both personally and professionally:
In the Workplace
Strong social bonds at work lead to higher engagement, lower turnover, and increased innovation. A sense of belonging is directly linked to better performance and satisfaction.In Our Communities
Social ties are essential for mental resilience. Loneliness, now considered a public health issue, can be as damaging as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Human connection heals.On Physical Health
Strong relationships contribute to longer life spans, lower stress, and faster recovery from illness. Our well-being is shaped by those we surround ourselves with.
Elevating Leadership & Well-Being Around the World
Through the Leadership Happiness Institute™, Lisa helps leaders and organizations put happiness science into practice. Her approach blends positive psychology, emotional intelligence, and resilience-building to foster cultures of purpose, connection, and sustainable success.
Motivated by her experience at WOHASU® 2025, Lisa is now committed to sharing key insights with broader audiences. Among the evidence-based strategies she brings back are:
How optimism is a trainable trait, like a muscle.
The proven business case for prioritizing employee well-being.
Why we must take intentional time away from screens to reconnect with ourselves and others.
How art, music, and shared experiences contribute to a meaningful life.
The urgent need to support young people facing rising rates of depression and anxiety through the science of happiness.
“We all have agency. We can choose happiness—and inspire others to do the same,” said Lisa. “I’m committed to sharing these insights globally to help more people lead with joy, purpose, and connection.”
Continuing the Conversation
Lisa will be sharing her WOHASU® 2025 takeaways on her YouTube channel, social platforms, and through her executive leadership coaching and corporate training.
She extends heartfelt thanks to Karen Guggenheim and the WOHASU® team for cultivating such a transformative and inspiring global gathering.
