• One of the best strategies for positive inception is rewriting the social script. Every aspect of the work and home life is guided by hidden social scripts -- unwritten social agreements that govern the thoughts and actions with others. Social psychologists have found that the more positive one's social script, the greater one's ability to influence. A positive social script can increase workforce engagement up to 40%. Three effective ways to change the social script that lead to positive inception are: 1. speaking first, or using a "power lead," 2. utilizing humor, and 3. creating a shared narrative. Incorporating these strategies into your own daily reality can help spread happiness to others -- and create a positive emotional environment for all.
