You possess a simple yet profoundly powerful way to instantly improve your #career : smiling. Here’s why: 1️⃣ It puts others at ease. When you smile, you help others feel more relaxed in your presence, which makes them more receptive to you and your ideas. 2️⃣ It makes you magnetic. Smiling draws people to you, making it easier to connect with others, whether fostering team collaboration or forging a new business partnership. 3️⃣ It inspires confidence and trust. Smiling and maintaining a positive attitude makes those around you believe in your abilities and your trustworthiness. 4️⃣ It’s good for you. When you smile, your brain releases neurotransmitters that improve your mood, relieve stress, lower your blood pressure, and boost your immune system. And when we feel good, tend to be more productive. 5️⃣ It makes you more creative. The dopamine that’s released when we smile is involved in learning, processing, and decision-making, and allows for heightened creativity related to problem-solving and artistic endeavors. 6️⃣ It’s contagious. When you flash a smile at the office, others pick up on your positive emotions. Mirror neurons fire and cause them to mimic your actions, creating a ripple effect of kindness that spreads throughout an organization. #leadership …see more
