Emotions are “energy in motion” and much more of a potent force in our lives than most people understand. When we leave them unexpressed, stuffed, unacknowledged, or numb them out, emotions have to go somewhere so lie in wait, latent, for the opportunity while often growing bigger and more intense. And then they can unexpectedly erupt in our interactions with others or even make us sick. Learning where emotions originate in our body and how to use them to get present to what we feel and desire is a life-long, enriching opportunity. And when we get better at recognizing and addressing our own emotions and those in others, we become much more adept at communication and improve our overall health.

Work is at least one-third of our lives, if not more. And yet, only 16 percent of the global workforce is fulfilled in the work they do. That figure is at least partly so because the leaders inside many organizations do not see people as individual, wholly unique beings with special talents – but rather as “human resources” to be dispatched or engaged in a set of tasks. The tremendous opportunity that beckons is to first stop believing the lies we’ve come to accept as truths about work and how it gets done, and instead begin to focus on and prize each individual on the team and within the organization that uniquely powers its mission. Through this new lens, we can create a world where people love their work and bring their best.

People ache to find their purpose. And often, it’s been with you your whole life – you just didn’t know how to recognize it as such. That persistent, niggling part of yourself that just won’t let you alone? Probably your purpose. That thing that everyone recognizes as being uniquely you and they count on for? Probably your purpose expressed. For Sheryl Lynn, her purpose was ultimately recognized as that insistent calling toward anything that brought her joy. She recognizes she needed it, and so does everyone else. And now, she’s built a platform around her brand called JOYELY. And she’s supporting a Joy Movement set to serve 1 billion people as they find, be, and share their joy with the world. Take a seat, you’re worth it.
