😊 National Smile Day 🎉

I love smiling. It’s an instant mood booster. And so much more.

I often coach leaders to embrace smiling as an avenue for elevating professional presence. Here’s why…

• A genuine smile acts as a lead domino at work, creating a ripple effect! Not only does smiling have a healthy impact on your immune system, it improves our connection with others.

• An authentic smile promotes sense of calm to those around you. It can ease tension in a room of uncertainty, especially in situations when a decision is needed. Leaders who understand this engage their team members more readily when the stakes are high.
   
• Smiling improves interpersonal relationships. If I ask you to name a leader you admire, chances are one of their traits is a pleasant smile and professionalism. Our brain remembers positive emotions and how people make us feel. Nothing improves our connection with others more than politeness and a healthy smile.

So…Today, share your smile!
