How novel? Tapping into your sense of smell to increase creativity, business communication and output? Fascinating!

The surprising business advantage of training your sense of smell Smell affects the quality of our lives in profound ways. Apart from known benefits like alerting us to danger or improving our appetites, paying attention to odors, it seems, also can bolster our creativity.

A lesson in Conscious Leadership via a trip to the post office this morning:

I went to drop off a prepaid package- a quick run in to drop off, facemask and all!

As I was walking in, a woman was walking out -with no mask. I got all righteous and thought to myself, “who does she think she is?“ All judging and caught up in my own story.

As I walked out of the post office, she was walking back in masked up.

I said to her, “it’s so hard to remember isn’t it?“ And she giggled and said, “oh my, yes it is!”

A great example of fact— what a video camera records and story— how we interpret what we see/experience.

Fact- A woman walked into the post office with no mask.

My story – who does she think she is?

The real story/ hers- “oh my goodness… I forgot my mask! Better run back to my car and get it...

This is why it’s so important to ask ourselves, “What else might be true?”

How can we all challenge ourselves to see the world through a conscious lens and catch ourselves creating stories from facts? That’s the game of conscious leadership. It’s fun to play! Who wants to join?
