Advisor Collaboration: What’s So Great About Being Postive?

We posted a blog – “Let’s Get Pos­i­tive!” which is the cen­ter­piece for this week’s dis­cus­sion on Advi­sor Col­lab­o­ra­tion.  The blog fea­tures a video from www​.ted​.com, which was sent to us by my friend and fel­low group mem­ber Fabien Ouel­lette from Ottawa.  Please beware, this is a 12-minute invest­ment we are ask­ing you to make but one that has a great ROI.  The ques­tion for this week is “What did you learn by watch­ing this video?”

At the bot­tom is the video from www​.ted​.com fea­tur­ing Shawn Achor, “the win­ner of over a dozen dis­tin­guished teach­ing awards at Har­vard Uni­ver­sity, where he deliv­ered lec­tures on pos­i­tive psy­chol­ogy in the most pop­u­lar class at Harvard.

He is the CEO of Good Think Inc., a Cambridge-based con­sult­ing firm which researches pos­i­tive out­liers — peo­ple who are well above aver­age — to under­stand where human poten­tial, suc­cess and hap­pi­ness inter­sect. Based on his research and 12 years of expe­ri­ence at Har­vard, he clearly and humor­ously describes to orga­ni­za­tions how to increase hap­pi­ness and mean­ing, raise suc­cess rates and prof­itabil­ity, and cre­ate pos­i­tive trans­for­ma­tions that rip­ple into more suc­cess­ful cul­tures. He is also the author of The Hap­pi­ness Advantage.”

Again, It is a 12-minute video that will def­i­nitely lift your spir­its and make you laugh, so I would sug­gest it is a good invest­ment.

Enjoy!
