Discussing Big Potential by Shawn Achor
Major Points from this Episode:
- You can create change wherever you are with anyone you encounter.
- Use progress to tap into your big potential. Celebrate the journey and the small wins along the way instead of just when you reach the mountain top.
- We have to find meaning in our current situation – you have the power to find meaning even in the small interactions you have with others.
- Work to enhance the mood of the people you encounter – don’t hold back the praise you give to others. Recognize others for their contributions, big or small.
- Don’t strive to be better than someone else because you will fall short of your personal goals.
- Don’t undercut others to build yourself up.
- Actively look for praise and you will find more to praise. More positivity will open up to you.
Actionable Strategies:
- Every day for one week pick one person to praise. Call, text or email that person 3 times that day to give them some praise. Make sure they accept the praise and say “thank you!”
