3 Reasons smiling is not bad for you

Do you think smiling could make you less professional?

I have encountered people who think smiling may impact the way others will perceive you, and not in a good way — in a professional setting, as in a work environment. You might not seem serious, they think.

To tell you the truth, when I heard this, I was astonished to learn that some people may consider smiling could hurt your professionalism.

So here I am.

Whether you are going to an interview, meeting an important client or catching up with an old friend, smile. Infusing positivity as a start lays out a welcoming approach, making people more receptive of what you have to say.

The smile is so powerful that its effect, given it is sincere, can be felt through the phone, without actually seeing the person. I bet even with texting, but to not sure about that.

When you take your time before splashing that smile, it maximizes the impact of your smile. Not only are you telling that person you are glad to see him, but it gives the impression that you are especially glad to see him, specifically him, only him. Not someone else, but for him… and don’t we all like to feel special?

Sounds good, but how?

Smile like Dale Carnegie said, but take your time when you do it. That’s it. Simple.

The power of a smile is so strong that its mere existence of it in an image would increase the likelihood of closing a sale.

We believe that our feelings precede our actions, but feelings can actually follow actions. We only have to give it a try.
