3 ways to boost your signal as a positive broadcaster
1.The power lead
Starting a meeting with the company's recent wins.
When someone asks how you are doing, looking for something positive and helpful to share rather than automatically replying "I m fine."
2.Send a positive email
A brief email sent to a team member praising his or her recent success can really set the tone for continued high performance and create a positive work environment. By focusing what is going right, you encourage future success.
3.Make a gratitude board
Display a bulletin board or designate a space where colleagues can write something that they're grateful for on a card and add it to the board. It's a great way to make a strong visual impact that shows your team focuses on success, while getting employees in the habit of scanning for the positive.
You are a broadcaster, and with that comes great power and responsibility. The messages we choose to broadcast shape other's views of the world and how they operate within it. Broadcast happiness to fuel success.
