We often see resistance strike down new plans at work. But have you noticed how people who muster up enthusiasm tend to succeed at work far beyond brains under pressure?
To the human brain enthusiasm buffers the storms and provides space for a new start. It’s an umbrella against downpours that kill innovation. To pioneer a no
vel idea is to act vulnerability to beliefs on both sides. Through enthusiasm … the brain releases serotonin … a chemical that increases solutions, cooperation and adds well being beyond frustration that can deluge pioneers.
Enthusiasm’s magic creates the sunshine that allows human brains to adapt to change. It stems the flow of cortisol that causes people to lash out… strike back… or give up….
Enthusiasm spark mental chemicals and opens access to a wider mix of intelligences … so you find yourself surpassing mistakes and piling on creative solutions that lead your innovations forward.
Check out the hilarious video … if you found yourself stuck in the status quo or if you just want a little adventure to start launch your new year. To those of us who at times lose a few teeth in a leap for change … Helen Keller said it best… “Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing at all….”
Do you agree that enthusiasm makes the difference where you work?
I think enthusiasm is vital for an organization. And you're right about the benefits. But I find we also need some of those pessimists around, especially when we're deciding on whether to undertake a high risk activity.
