The Four Levels of Happiness^®

Happiness is the only goal that people pursue for its own sake, which makes it an ideal lens for explaining why people and organizations behave as they do. The Four Levels of Happiness model shows leaders how to elevate the powerful drive for happiness and direct it toward shared goals, strong ethics, and great performance.

Video Story: Fr. Spitzer’s Inspiring Talk at the Crozier Gala

How does a young man bound for a career in business or law wind up in the priesthood? That was the story that Fr. Robert Spitzer was asked to share when he served as the guest speaker at the annual Crozier Gala on May 1. The gala, held at the Camelback Inn in Scottsdale, Arizona, is the annual benefit dinner for the Catholic Community Foundation of Phoenix.  This is the “Year of the Priest” in the Catholic Church, and many of the priests in the Diocese of Phoenix were at the event.

Fr. Spitzer’s lively retelling of his own vocation story drew a standing ovation from the 650 attendees. This prompted the gala’s master of ceremonies, Coach Herb Sendek of the Arizona State University basketball team, to quip, “Now I know why Gonzaga has always been so hard to beat!”

We’re grateful to Brigitte Dayton of the Catholic Community Foundation for arranging to have a video of Fr. Spitzer’s 20-minute talk made available for use on our website.
