Screen Shot 2013-08-16 at 8.37.58 AMWoohoo – it’s Friday.

Before you go home from work today, make a list of 3 things that made you happy at work this week.

Then tell me about them in a comment below.

And then go home and have an awesome weekend :-)

Studies show that taking time to focus on the positive things in your life makes you happier – probably because it helps reduce negativity bias. Another study showed that it might be more effective to do it weekly rather than daily – hence this exercise.

    3 things that made me really happy last week!

    1.Strategy workshop with 22 visionary leaders yesterday, where we agreed – that growing people is the foundation for growing our customers! And we made plans for 2014 that pontentially could take us to the top if excecuted right!

    2.We finalized preparation for a great sales & service conference next week where HAPPY customers will be the focus (have a guess how we will achieve that target in 2014???)

    3.I got confirmation again that happiness is very contagious – if am HAPPY its fairly difficult for my employees to be pessimistic.

    Have a great weekend…:0)

    Great question!
    1. Getting my “groove” back, stepping up with some creative ideas and feeling good about them.
    2. The team is seeing with greater clarity and it’s exciting.
    3. Having fun again at work, lots of beautiful small changes emerging.
