HOW THE TINGLY FEELING MAKES WORK BETTER… 

What is the Tingly Feeling?

The Tingly Feeling is more than just a feeling - IT’S A REACTION!

When we experience meaning, breakthrough and excitement in our work - there is a release of dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin into our system.

As these chemical’s surge through our brain, and heart (the employee brain) - we light up like a child on Christmas morning. The truth is, those feelings of unfiltered energy, excitement, and engagement are what we crave as humans - and when something feels good we want to do it again! Yet, when it comes to work, many of us can go days or weeks without harnessing the power of meaningful work.

Work that was once filled with passion, excitement and bold beliefs of what is possible has turned into a job where we check the box, produce uninspiring solutions, or even worse… despise showing up.

HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? 

Hypoxia…. happens when our human bodies are starved of oxygen. The same is true when the Employee Brain is starved of the critical resource of doing work that matters. Meaningful work, that moves the needle and builds momentum acts as oxygen to the Employee Brain. Without this “oxygen”, the Employee Brain shuts down causing a shortage in:

• Innovation/Creativity

• Effectiveness/Prioritization

• Motivation/Engagement

These outcomes impact our culture, and how employees define their experience at work. Together, culture and the employee experience create the next breakthrough ideas, world class customer service and unlock an organizations highest potential.

It becomes critical to identify this oxygen for each individual. What we’ve seen is the Tingly Feeling become a pathway for each human to begin to unlock their best work... and find a way to spark this oxygen.

With the best part of us unlocked to go do our best, most impactful work – our organizations, lives and world become a better place.
