The Power of Positive Reinforcement

There is so much we all want to get done in a day, a week, a month and a year. We are made of our big and small dreams - the ones we can make time for, and the ones that often stay stuck to a vision board. It could be a hectic schedule, conflicting priorities or just plain lack of motivation - but many of us, unfortunately, find our reasons to not take the small steps we could take every day to eventually meet our goals and dreams.?

Sometimes a little nudge and?a small reminder can go a long way in getting us back on track. There is true power in consistent positive reinforcement - whether it be through words of support and motivation or rewards and accolades at the many milestones through a person’s journey to their goal destination.?

As we build Oter to help our users get closer to their goals, we are putting our energies and focus on creating a positive, motivating and confidence-inspiring environment within our app ecosystem and outside it. We hope that our users feel a little more empowered and supported every time they interact and engage with any of our communication.

This is because we understand that positive reinforcement and reward-first interactions can play a big part in boosting confidence. A more supportive environment is one where they are more likely to return and make further progress towards their goals.?

Some of the things we think work when working towards building positive interactions online as well as offline are -

• Consistency in the way you communicate?
• Delivering promised rewards to ensure follow-through?
• Adding encouragement to your accolades to ensure your people are motivated to continue with their journey

At Oter, we are loud supporters of change and improvement. We think the most impactful transformations happen when we all move forward together, cheering each other on. And while we aim to build this positivity into our very product, we believe in the power of positive reinforcement in our offline spaces too.?
