[optinlocker]The Key Ingredient: Smile
You have done everything right to get to where you are today in your professional journey.
- You have obtained the necessary credentials to practice in your field
- You are efficient and effective in delivering on your performance goals
- You understand the company strategy and how your role contributes to organizational success
- You maintain relevance in your career field
- You are inclusive and collaborative – a team player
And yet…..standing out at work continues to elude you and hinder your overall success.
Try Smiling…at this juncture many of you have stopped reading and are saying – “Really”, however I encourage you to keep reading. Studies have shown that people who smile at work perform better and have greater productivity.
Your smile says a lot about you. It enables a person to see your essence. It conveys the message that you are open and approachable. A smile quickly changes a person’s perception of you. A person who smiles exudes confidence, professionalism and intelligence.
People who smile are invited into conversations, afforded the opportunity to collaborate and to join teams. Your smile sends the message that you are:
- Present
- Positive
- Productive
So go ahead – don’t be the office curmudgeon (bad-tempered, disagreeable, killjoy) – SMILE – your career depends on it.
