How The Vibrant Workplace Book Helps You Build a Better Culture
Addressing Leadership Resistance
In The Vibrant Workplace, we tackle one of the biggest obstacles to change: unengaged leaders. You’ll learn business culture improvement strategies to help leaders understand why authentic appreciation isn’t optional—it’s essential.
Overcoming Cynicism and Inauthenticity
Employees know when recognition is fake. Our book provides practical team engagement methods that help you build real, meaningful connections through personalized, sincere appreciation efforts.
Battling Negativity and Burnout
Negativity spreads quickly if left unchecked. The Vibrant Workplace shares proven workplace positivity strategies to shift your culture toward hope, energy, and collaboration—without pretending problems don’t exist.

“Over the past ten years I’ve had a chance to work with several companies and it would be extremely rare to find a company or even a department that could be described as vibrant – full of energy and enthusiasm. The good news is that in the book, The Vibrant Workplace, Dr. Paul White shares with us a practical approach on how we can create vibrant workplaces through the languages of appreciation. Dr. White offers us some sensible advice on what blocks us from achieving this and the understanding of how we can get around these barriers.”
– Dana McArthur, Founder, McArthur Creative
“The Vibrant Workplace dispels the myth that employee engagement is a simple program you just purchase and require management to deliver. In this book, Dr. White furnishes best practices and practical tools based on research and real life examples to create a path to a healthy organization. He provides a deeper understanding on ways to connect with and empower your team to grow and create caring relationships.“
– Evan Wilson, Chief Experience Officer, Meritrust Credit Union
“Sadly, we still need this book. 51 percent of managers believe they are doing a good job of recognizing good work. Only 17 percent of their employees agree. That statistic from The Vibrant Workplace is why we need Paul White’s splendid new book. He explains why our typical ways of showing appreciation – like recognition programs – rarely live up to the hype. But, he doesn’t leave us hanging. He tells us how we can show appreciation in ways that actually matter to others at work. Consider buying two copies, one for yourself and one for your boss.”
