10 Simple ways to
make your business
more
Joyful
…joy is the new competitive advantage!
By Amanda Gore
Businesses That Have Joyful
Workers Have:
“…every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is
positive.” Harvard Business Review
51% lower
turnover
(Gallup)
33%
Higher
profitability
(Gallup)
19% less sick
leave
(iOpener
Institute)
43% more
productivity
(HayGroup)
125%
less burnout
(HBR)
So what can you do to
make your business a
joyful place?
1. Feel Good About
Yourself
This is actually the most
important point.
The most important thing in life
is how you feel about yourself -
because that affects every
other aspect of your life -
especially your performance.
A person who
feels good
about
themselves
can focus on
making others
feel good
about
themselves!
This makes for
a great
colleague or
boss.
2. Value Feelings
Success in business is always about
feelings – the the way we feel about a
product, organization or person
influences how we behave and informs
our decisions about how we spend, or
who we conduct business with.
“Our research shows that people are less likely to buy from a company with an employee they perceive as rude,
whether the rudeness is directed at them or at other employees. Witnessing just a single unpleasant interaction leads
customers to generalize about other employees, the organization, and even the brand.” (HBR) The Price of Incivility
3. Create a Safe
Environment
Create a work
environment that is
fear free and joy filled -
especially if you are a
leader. Fear inhibits
performance, creativity
and blocks the ability
to experience joy at
work.
4. Understand that
work + joy =
profitability
Joy at work
matters - it IS
the new
competitive
advantage!
Amanda Gore
When compared with
industry competitors at the
company level, organizations
with more than four engaged
employees for every one
actively disengaged employee saw 2.6 times
more growth in earnings per share than
those with less engaged workers.
(Hay Group)
2.6 times more
growth in earnings
per share
Good
Job!
The #1 thing people want in
life is recognition and
acknowledgement .
Being acknowledged makes people
feel good about themselves.
Give people TA DA's; a thumbs up. a
high five
…or just celebrate changes and
achievements in some way.
5. Recognize and
Acknowledge
“Appreciation is a fundamental
human need. Employees respond
to appreciation expressed through
recognition of their good work
because it confirms their work is
valued. When employees and their
work are valued, their satisfaction
and productivity rises, and they are
motivated to maintain or improve
their good work.”
From: The enthusiastic employee – how companies profit by
giving workers what they want.
6. Keep
Learning The brain loves change -
it needs change to grow
and develop. Seek to
grow, learn and develop
at work. Take all the
opportunities offered.
Ask for mentoring and
guidance.
7. Be Grateful
Gratitude
Gratitude is the foundation for joy -
put on your gratitude glasses so that
you find things for which to be
grateful in everyone and everything -
it transforms life - and work.
Gratitude reframes everything that
happens in your life.
Be a good finder! Find good in
everyone and every situation
- there is always something
good. You may have to search
deeply at times but you will
find something! And that
habit will change your life.
People don't like working
with pessimistic, energy
suckers
8. Be a Good
Finder
“Research shows that when people work with a positive mind-
set, performance on nearly every level—productivity,
creativity, engagement—improves.” Harvard Business Review
9. Have a Purpose
Find some purpose and meaning in the
work you do.
“Of all the things that can boost
emotions, motivation, and
perceptions during a workday, the
single most important is making
progress in meaningful work.”
The power of small wins (HBR)
We spend at least 50% of our lives at work so
it's critical to find purpose, passion and love for
your work, because for most people work life
balance is not possible! Be aware of the need
to unplug from the technology that keeps you
tied to work in your home and family time.
Exercise more . Sleep - at least 7 hours if you
can - you need it to recuperate. Take regular
breaks at work - it's a paradox but we actually
achieve more when we take regular short
breaks. Relax, see friends, eat well, have
regular holidays and laugh a lot! You will live
longer and be more productive.
10. Love your work
Amanda Gore
Amanda Gore is one of Australia's and America's most popular
'experience creating' speakers. She blends the principles of ancient
wisdom with new research in modern science to wake people up to
what really matters - in life and at work.
Involving the audience in an entertaining way that gets them all
connected, she shares strategies, techniques and skills that allow
people to adapt to change, transform their attitudes, eradicate fear,
and improve relationships, communication, leadership, sales and
customer service. The most important thing in life is how you feel
about yourself - because that affects every other aspect of your life -
especially your performance. The ability to make others feel good
about themselves is rarely taught, yet critical for success in any field.
People are 80% emotional and 20% rational - they will never forget
how you made them feel! Amanda teaches people how to operate at
that feeling level!

Value Feelings Success in business is always about feelings – the the way we feel about a product, organization or person influences how we behave and informs our decisions about how we spend, or who we conduct business with. “Our research shows that people are less likely to buy from a company with an employee they perceive as rude, whether the rudeness is directed at them or at other employees. Witnessing just a single unpleasant interaction leads customers to generalize about other employees, the organization, and even the brand.” (HBR) The Price of Incivility

  • 13. We spend at least 50% of our lives at work so it's critical to find purpose, passion and love for your work, because for most people work life balance is not possible! Be aware of the need to unplug from the technology that keeps you tied to work in your home and family time. Exercise more . Sleep - at least 7 hours if you can - you need it to recuperate. Take regular breaks at work - it's a paradox but we actually achieve more when we take regular short breaks. Relax, see friends, eat well, have regular holidays and laugh a lot! You will live longer and be more productive. 10. Love your work
