More smiles at work with coworkers and students. I guess the one interesting thing I noted was that one student seemed to be joking around more than usual during the break, lightening up the mood. At any rate, I am glad for anything to lighten the mood up. Otherwise, I had a lot to cover this day and it was difficult to get too much smiling in. I tried. Once again, one should always smile when you can, because many times you just can’t.
On this day I paid a visit to the dentist. Before I could even think of smiling, the receptionist greeted me with a great big smile. Folks in the waiting room, on the other hand, seemed a bit downcast. I was able to greet one waiting guy with a smile, but no chain reaction of cheer followed. Once in the dentist chair, I was greeted by a very friendly dentist and assistant. In fact, the two dentists at this facility are both very friendly and smiley all the time. And I think it rubs off on all the staff working for them because everyone at this particular office seems very friendly. This is perhaps one of the reasons our entire family, our inlaws, and just about everybody we know, choose this dentist. A tip for business owners or management, especially those dealing with the public:
When top management smiles, support staff smiles. The entire organization becomes more productive, worker turnover decreases, and customers will flock to your place of business.
I also stopped at a grocery store on the way home. Both the clerk and bagger were receptive to smiles.
