I don’t know what you say here, but I would say something like :
Paraphrase: Congrats…if you’re into this happiness thing, then good news! You’re already on the way through the first phase of the roadmap we use for our consulting work: the inspire phase. And that’s not a throwaway point…Inspiration is crucial. Until there is the feeling of possibility and shared inspiration, and an understanding of some of the facts that support it, you can’t create the momentum necessary to shift toward a sustainable happy culture. But once you and your organization have that inspiration, the sky is the limit.
You can then shift to the next phase: ”Assess”. ’You need to measure (quantitatively and qualitatively) your culture accurately to create a baseline measurement, which helps you to figure out what is working and what improvements can really be made. Traditionally, culture and happiness have been challenging to measure, s they were considered fluffy. But as we’ve shown today, we know it’s not. To that end, we’ve worked to offer two different surveys, one for culture and one for happiness…etc etc…
NOTE: I could also imagine some slide animiation
NOTE: In the notebook, you’ll find links for both assessments! Take them for a spin.

Formula was emerging … became secret sauce…
Tony was seeing, IT’S ALL ABOUT HAPPINESS!
not only in life, also in business
So he set out to incorporate as much happiness in new culture at zappos as he could
The idea of happiness as a business model was born
