Nini Fritz

Hi, I'm Nini - Founder and Chief Energy Officer (CEO) of The Work Happiness Project.

Originally from the south of Germany and now based in Sydney, my mission is simple: to leave every person I encounter at least 1% more energised than I found them.

After spending five years building remote cultures and hosting connection experiences from the beaches of Bali, I traded my coconut-filled island life for the corporate world. Why?
Because island life taught me exactly what modern work needs more of: less stress, burnout, and "always-on" culture — and more connection, presence, purpose, and energy.

Today, as a retired digital nomad and self-proclaimed Corporate Hippie, I help organisations translate wellbeing into business outcomes. Blending positive psychology, behavioural science, and human connection, I create edu-taining experiences that help people burn bright, not out.

Since 2020, I've partnered with global teams at Dell, Meta, Google, HubSpot, NSW Government, and high-growth organisations across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the US.

Popular sessions include:
• Design Your 12-Step Bucket List
• Fill Your Cup First
• Disconnect to Reconnect

I'm also the creator of eyeConnect, a Digital Detox game designed to get people off their phones and back into meaningful conversations.

Ultimately, my mission is to help organisations shift from "TGIF" cultures to "TGIM" environments - where people don't simply survive the workweek but feel energised by it.

Helping people live fuller, connect deeper, and be happier from the inside out. 💛
