\n\"Happy<\/p>\n

Day 1: Smile On Purpose<\/span><\/div>\n

Smiling initiates a complex shift of muscles, breath, and body chemistry<\/strong> (you release endorphins!) that creates a more positive mood. Plus, what you put out, others mirror back to you, feeding an increasingly positive emotional space.
\nWhen you smile on purpose, it will affect all your interactions, whether in a meeting or on the phone, or just walking by yourself.<\/strong>
\nSo today, Smile on Purpose.<\/strong> Start with your face, you\u2019ll feel it in your heart.<\/p>\n

In the Workplace<\/span><\/div>\n

A smile is the universal sign that one is experiencing a good feeling.<\/strong> So smiling in the workplace can tell us much about mood and morale.
\nThe leader who makes eye contact and carries a genuine smile as they move through the workspace is perceived as more trustworthy and approachable.\u00a0<\/strong>People who work in such an environment feel more engaged. It\u2019s more complex than JUST that, of course, yet it\u2019s also that simple.<\/p>\n

Remember: Leadership is not about a title<\/span> \u2013 anyone can be a leader who puts off positive vibes \u2013 and creates the same in others!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
