About Dillon:

Dillon Turnbow’s mission is simple: to show that everyone has the ability to increase their own happiness — and the happiness of those around them. Through easy-to-follow steps and practical exercises, he proves that lasting joy isn’t out of reach, no matter your circumstances.

Having walked through dark seasons himself, Dillon came to realize that much of his own suffering was self-inflicted and unnecessary. That breakthrough became the spark for a new journey: helping others discover the same freedom and fulfillment.

 

Since 2014, Dillon has led happiness training programs for the largest nonprofit healthcare system in America, guiding thousands of people to greater joy, resilience, and effectiveness in both work and life.

Proven Results:

Happiness training isn’t just theory — it works. Participants in the Scale Up Happiness program report, on average, a 20.7% increase in happiness and a 32.5% improvement in work effectiveness. These results come from years of refining the process, applying it in real-world environments, and tracking outcomes that matter.

The program has proven effective not only in healthcare but also in high-performance business settings. Dillon recently led a pilot training for the national sales team of a $100 billion annual revenue company, where participants increased sales conversion ratios by over 30% compared to a control group.

Whether for individuals or organizations, the program delivers practical, measurable, and lasting change.

My Approach:

The Scale Up Happiness program is built on two guiding principles:

1. The Science of Process Improvement – Drawing from Dillon’s expertise as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, the program treats happiness like any other process: measurable, improvable, and scalable. Participants learn to apply proven tools and methods to build habits that reliably increase happiness over time.

2.  The Power of Connection – While most happiness programs stop at mindset and behavior, Dillon believes the deepest levels of fulfillment often come from connection: to ourselves, to others, and to God. The program does not promote any specific religion, but does draw on his personal experiences as a Catholic. 

The Scale Up Happiness Framework:

At its core, the program is designed around seven universal needs that research and experience show are essential for happiness:

 

Belonging – meaningful relationships and community

Purpose – a sense of meaning in what we do

Achievement – reaching goals and celebrating progress

Growth – learning, adapting, and turning obstacles into opportunities

Enjoyment – cultivating positivity and joy in daily life

Health – energy and well-being in body and mind

Divine Connection – While anyone can become happier by working on the first 6 needs, the highest levels of happiness require a connection with a Higher Power.
