At the Workplace: Employing People-to-People Energy - Quick Tip - 02/03/10

It could be due to not enough sunlight, the natural let down after the holidays, or you hate being cold all the time, but whatever the reason, during the winter months, it's easy to get the "blahs". And when you have the "blahs", you have no energy and probably want to just stay in bed, pull up the covers, and hibernate.

Easy if you have nothing to do, most of us have obligations though, so it's off to work we go. Once you get there, then what? You still don't have any energy.

Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to increase your energy at work. Every place has at least one person who is always upbeat and cheerful. You don't know where he or she gets that energy, but you want some of it.

The good news is - you can get it. To tap into that energy, just have a brief conversation with that person. Talking to someone like that is like plugging into an electrical socket. You'll be amazed how quickly your energy level rises just being in the presence of such a person.

But, what if you truly have no one like that at work? Try this: Take a two minute walk around the office, and you be that upbeat and cheerful person to someone else. Believe it or not, when you bring cheer to others, you will be affected as well. Funny, but it works. Just try it and see.

Because having energy to do your job is so important, we have made "Increase Your Workplace Energy" one of the 13 essential tools in the Employee Success Toolkit.
