How Gratitude and Kindness Go Together for Brain-Changing Happiness

How Gratitude and Kindness Go Together for Brain-Changing Happiness

You are probably not interested in my personal opinions about gratitude. If you read something about gratitude you want to know that it’s not just relevant to me but to you as well. Well, at least I hope that’s what you want.

Because that way you might try something that will make a big difference to your day. And even transform your life. OK, I know that sounds like a big claim. But recent neuroscience and psychological research back me up here — and so do my personal experiments.

I have been testing the science in my own life for some time now, and I know that my brain is changing for the better. So too are my feelings of happiness (or if you prefer, my “well-being”). And my ability to regain my balance…

Eric Schmidt: Google Will Give Higher Rankings to Content Tied to Verified Profiles

English: Eric E. Schmidt, Chairman and CEO of ...

Regardless of how one feels about it, effective use of Google Plus is the defacto standard for getting found in search:

“Within search results, information tied to verified online profiles will be ranked higher than content without such verification, which will result in most users naturally clicking on the top (verified) results. The true cost of remaining anonymous, then, might be irrelevance.”

When Google introduced authorship markup in 2011, Google did note that they were “looking closely at ways this markup could help us highlight authors and rank search results.”

Now Schmidt has made it explicit: in the future, you can boost your rankings by using Google authorship, and as we’ve reported before, Google+ has been designed to be an identity verification network.

Thought leadership strategy and tactics

Thought leadership strategy is essential for getting found in Google but how to execute with the fewest moving parts is elegance! DaVinci said “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” but what does that look like in a thought leadership workflow? Let’s start with some thoughts from Google Plus ‘meister’ Mark Traphagen:

Of Mark’s 5 points, items 1,3 & 5 are what Covey would call ‘private victories’ and items 2 & 4 are related to ‘public victories’. You can possess items 1, 3 & 5 in abundance but unless you using the wonderful tools we have at our fingertips to make your thoughts searchable, findable, knowable, shareable and memorable, you are missing the opportunity to become credible on a bigger scale. You will never be found in the ‘zero moment of truth‘ unless you treat Google as an ally, not an adversary to be tricked or gamed.

So then, if you’re with me so far, let me propose a workflow for thought leadership strategy with only 3 moving parts for you to consider:
