Smile for your career. Really.
Many people underestimate the power of a simple smile. In reality, that smile you share with someone else can be one of the best career strategies you might engage. Why?
Smiles are disarming. When someone is smiling at you, it is very challenging for you to miss. A smile tells people that you are happy, not just individually, but also to be in their presence.
Smiles attract. It is much easier to approach someone who is smiling and two approach someone who is frowning, don’t you agree? A smile says “I invite you.” It is a conversation starter.
Smiles break down boundaries. A smile creates an even playing field, because when you are smiling, you are telling people that don’t matter what your position or stature in life, you welcome that person.
Why are smiles career strategies? Simple. Communication is the basis for all business success. It is the basis for all personal happiness. When you smile, you are opening conversation. You are opening dialogue. And that dialogue is what is needed for your career to soar.
