We have learned that reprogramming our brains to become more positive, more adaptive, and more resilient in order to gain a competitive advantage at work is not only possible, it is essential in rapidly changing environments. But information alone is not transformation, which is why the next step is so important: cascading these findings and trainings to more organizations to create deep and sustained change so that happiness becomes not a short-term, chance event at work, but a sustained lifelong practice.
“One of the most powerful forces in human nature is our belief that change is possible.” – Shawn Achor
The more we research, the more we are convinced that while intelligence and technical skills are crucial, the greatest competitive advantage in the modern economy is a positive and engaged brain.
