Shawn Achor's Happiness Advantage Orange Frog Workshop

At this week's National Summer Learning Association summit, we were reminded how essential happiness is to our quest for knowledge. Through stories like The Orange Frog, Shawn shared how small shifts in mindset lead to gains in personal and educational growth. This is a reminder that learning isn't just about absorbing information—it's also about creating environments where joy and engagement are part of the curriculum. Thanks to everyone who connected with our team at the summit. Sharing happiness is how we amplify its effects, and we are thankful to have shared this time together.

Small, consistent gestures can shift our perspective and create a ripple effect in those around us. Here are four two-minute habits you can do today: Acts of Gratitude: Spend two minutes finding three new things to be grateful for. This shifts your brain from scanning for threats to recognizing the positives. The Doubler: Reflect on one positive experience from the last 24 hours for two minutes. Detail every aspect you can recall. This simple exercise tricks your brain into reliving and doubling the joy of that moment. Breathe: Take a two-minute break to breathe. At Google, this practice not only improved accuracy and happiness but also reduced stress. Conscious Acts of Kindness: Send an email or text praising or thanking someone. This boosts your social connections. Happiness multiplies when shared! Join our workshops to learn how to integrate these powerful habits into your daily routine and spread positivity within your organization. https://lnkd.in/g2JZDQxu

Shawn Achor’s Social Investment principle tells us, "The people with the most social investment are the happiest, the most productive, and the most successful." In workplaces where employees feel connected, they are more engaged, willing to share ideas, and resilient when faced with challenges. Environments like this drive innovation and productivity. Want to take action? Embrace social investment as a key strategy in your toolkit for success. Reach out to a colleague, plan a team outing, or share your appreciation with a teammate. Small gestures can spark building a supportive community around you. The relationships you build are just as important as the skills you acquire. #SocialInvestment #ShawnAchor #WorkplaceWellbeing #ProfessionalSuccess #PositivePsychology
