Fierce Tip of the Week:Spread Joy Through Conversations

Fierce kicked off 2012 with the Fierce Six Challenge, focusing each week on a way to improve your new year by communicating more effectively.

I’m bringing the first challenge, Spread Joy Through Conversation, back because it was such a pleasure to do the first time. This week’s tip is about spreading joy by doing something you do every day: Communicating with those around you.

There’s literally no wrong way to do this week’s tip. If you have a colleague you admire and don’t tell them often enough, do it this week. Tell your family how much you appreciate them. Make someone laugh. Connect with an old friend that you haven’t been able to see as much.

The possibilities are endless.

Don’t be surprised if you see those you connect with begin to spread the joy as well; it can be very infectious. How we communicate with others is one of our most powerful tools as human beings. Take the opportunity this week and use this powerful tool by highlighting the brighter things in life.

If it feels so good you can’t stop, continue onto next week. This is a tip that can keep going!
