Do you ever find yourself oppressed by seemingly unending negative news or the constant striving to do “do more” and “be more?” According to Dr. Martin Seligman, Director of the Positive Psychology Center, “people who are optimistic or happy have better performance in work, school, and sports, are less depressed, have fewer physical health problems, and have better relationships with other people.”Yet a Gallup survey showed that 70% of the work force at most US companies are either unengaged or actively disengaged. ✪ According to research, companies with low engagement earn +32% lower revenue while companies with a highly engaged work force realize +19% growth in operating income over a 12-month period. ✪ Engaged companies grow profits 3X faster and highly engaged employees are 87% less likely to leave.✪ One study found that disengaged employees cost the US economy up to $350B per year due to lost productivity.If you want better performance for yourself, your co-workers, your students, or your patients, you need more optimism. At Smile-Therapy we sow seeds of optimism via a steady drum beat of positive messages 6 days a week. Our service aims to improve morale and engagement by: ✪ Helping managers become the best leaders they can be.✪ Helping staff to become the performers they can be.✪ Helping students to become the best learners they can be. Social Psychologist Barbara Frederickson at the University of North Carolina notes that, “I think of positive emotions as nutrients. In the same way that we need to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables to be healthy, we need a variety of positive emotions in our daily experience.” Which is why each week at Smile-Therapy we “feed” our members a “crockpot of betterment”. We serve up wisdom from the likes of Seth Godin, Zig Ziglar, John Wooden, Helen Keller, Earl Nightingale, Dr. Seuss, and many, many more.Start your day fresh and positive, today, tomorrow, and every day by joining us at Smile-Therapy.com.
