The brilliant Chief Culture Officer for Park Insurance, Natasha Purnell, created a simple but powerfully effective program to help everyone in her company flex their positivity muscles. She created a 30-day positivity/gratitude challenge for all employees.

Everyone was given a small journal and a list of thirty daily challenges. Relying on the honor system, each morning everyone had to pick one challenge to complete and then write about it in their journal. The list contained things such as: Write down something positive that happened to you today; compliment 3 people; start your day by singing in the shower; write down 3 things you are grateful for; call a friend you haven’t talked to in a long time; do the “power pose” before going to work; etc.

The challenge inspired everyone to be more intentional about their attitude and share their positive experiences with the entire group. And as a bonus and incentive, everyone who completed the entire 30-day challenge got an afternoon off from work.
