Shawn Achor's Happiness Advantage Orange Frog Workshop

One simple question—"How are you?"—can change the energy of someone’s day. Not the autopilot version, but a genuine, intentional check-in. Positive psychology research shows that authentic connection fuels well-being, engagement, and resilience. When we feel seen and supported, we thrive. Here’s your challenge: Take 30 seconds today to check in with a colleague or friend. Who will you reach out to?

Success isn't just about what we do - it's about who we uplift along the way. A simple message recognizing a colleague's strengths can fuel motivation, deepen trust, and create a culture of appreciation. Take 30 seconds today to spot the strengths in others. Maybe it's a teammate's ability to solve problems, a leader who is always there to listen, or a colleague who can find the positive in the most bleak of situations. We would love to celebrate the folks in your network who inspire you. Tag someone and share what makes them great so we can celebrate them together!

Gratitude shifts your mindset and boosts productivity. Before opening your inbox, jot down one thing you’re grateful for. What’s one thing you’re grateful for today?

Before diving into your to-do list, pause for a moment. Think of a recent win—big or small. Maybe you closed a deal, solved a tough problem, or simply showed up on a day when it wasn’t easy. This small shift primes your brain for confidence and momentum. Positive psychology research shows that recognizing past success helps build resilience, motivation, and forward progress. Martin Seligman's research on positive psychology shows how focusing on strengths and successes leads to greater well-being and performance. Now it’s your turn—take two minutes to reset and create a ripple effect of momentum.

What’s your workday vibe? Positive psychology research shows that naming your mindset can help reinforce it. When we recognize and embrace our strengths, we bring more of that energy into our day. The first word you see describes your energy. Drop your word in the comments.

Your mindset is your superpower. You can shape your habits, attitude, and perspective. Waiting for workplace culture to improve? ?? Become the person who spreads positivity. Hoping for recognition? ?? Take the initiative to celebrate our own and others’ successes. Reacting to stress? ?? Build resilience by investing in your mindset. Change starts from within. And when you take the first step, you create a ripple effect that transforms teams, workplaces, and communities. How are you choosing to step into your superpower today?
