Emotions… at work!

Emotions are the soft stuff.... do they matter like hard stuff?

Most people want to succeed at work. And are good with the hard stuff (strategy, planning, budgeting…)

But most are not so good at the soft stuff (culture, values, emotions…)

People perform proportionally to how they feel!

HARD STUFF What you do!

SOFT STUFF How you do it

The soft stuff is the

hard stuff

Role of Emotions at Work

Nic Marks, CEO of Happiness Works

Culture Starts with values Values start with ME : )

Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions.

Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits.

Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values.

Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny.

Let’s layer in some science.

OUR BRAINS ARE HARDWIRED TO SEEK HAPPINESS. YET WE’RE SUPERBAD AT PREDICTING WHAT CAN SUSTAIN IT.

I’ll be happy when…

1.  I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me (purpose)

2.  I wish I hadn’t worked so hard (purpose) 3.  I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings (conn) 4.  I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends 5.  I wish that I had let myself be happier

Fast Forward: Top 5 regrets in life

* Bronnie Ware, Pallia7ve Care Nurse caring for pa7ents in last 12 weeks of life

...but ONLY 10%

Happiness is predetermined

90% of happiness is how we process the world.

All this links back to the science of happiness:

HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE!

Change your mindset, change your world.

OUR BRAINS CAN BE REWIRED FOR LONG TERM HAPPINESS.

States à Physical, mental or emotional state of being can be based on external circumstances or internal feelings (Reactive)

à Super Powers When we master control of our Skills they are like our own superpowers

Super Powers Happiness is a Choice

à Skills As we learn to use states to our advantage they become Skills

Some states serve us well positive states support happiness

Fear Anxiety Jealousy Frustration Stress Blame

Curiosity Compassion Playfulness Gratitude Appreciation Pride Courage

Super Powers Happiness States

Some states have more limited uses Prolonged negative states limit happiness

Best YOU Best work Expansion: Greatest Allowing State (happiness)

Limited YOU Unrealized Potential Contraction: Weakest Allowing State

Emotions Thoughts

Let’s practice with a positive emotion: •  Go back in your mind to a positive memory, to a happy emotional state. •  What was the emotion? •  What was happening, what did it feel like? Where did you feel it?

p26


Let’s practice with a negative emotion: •  Do the same for a negative memory, a negative emotional state. •  What was the emotion? •  What was it like to be there, what did it feel like?


p26

Now think back on a time when something really funny happened that makes you laugh and makes you very happy

•  What was it like to be there, what did it feel like?
