Jessica Pryce-Jones, CEO of iOpener, a human asset management consultancy, thinks that lots of people, teams and organizations would achieve more and manage better if they understood the connection between productivity and happiness at work. Recognizing this would mean that they’d truly achieve their potential while enabling their own - and their organization's - success. Her new book, Happiness at Work: Maximizing Your Psychological Capital For Success was published by Wiley Blackwell on February 19th, and it outlines exactly how anyone in any job can do this.

Jessica founded iOpener to help people to recognise and extend their capabilities. She believes that everyone has the ability to do more: the secret lies in inner momentum and formulating practical solutions. She is a frequent speaker and media commentator, having taken part as an expert in the BBC series ‘Making Slough Happy’, featured in a CNN special and written many articles about iOpener’s work.

She lectures and teaches senior executives at London Business School, Chicago Booth, Oxford (Saïd) and Judge Business Schools. She also coaches senior executives and leadership teams. Her career started at Rothschild's Bank in Paris and she then spent seven years in the insurance market before starting working as a consultant. Jessica has degrees in Classics and Psychology. She works all over the world but is based in Oxford, UK with her family.
