Celebrate Positive Thinking Day to Improve Overall Job Performance
Today is September 13th and Positive Thinking Day! Studies by Harvard Business Review show that people who work with a positive mind-set experience an increase in overall job performance including productivity, creativity and engagement. They argue that happiness is not something that happens once you reach your goals. In fact, it is quite the opposite. In an article on Positive Intelligence, Harvard references the “happiness advantage”, meaning every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is positive. With this said, we have collected these 5 quotes to inspire positive thinking and to help you accelerate your career or business.
