Problem solving skills are fundamental to being a successful technologist. Employers and industry research support the notion that skilled problem solvers are in high-demand.

It might not be intuitive to think that a positive mindset is associated with being a better problem solver – but that is the truth.

There is a growing body of research to suggest that happiness at work and maintaining a positive outlook, are more important for your career (as well as your general well-being) than you might have imagined.

Clinical psychologists there have discovered that positivity opens the brain up so that you see more possibilities than when you feel negative. When you experience happiness or joy, your brain is receptive to a broader range of options.

Great, but what does that have to do with you or your career? Well think about it for a minute.

Positive Thinking Builds Skills
The happier you feel, the more inclined you are to open yourself up to new options, opportunities, and experiences. Therefore the more likely you are to learn and acquire new skills as well as competencies.

Think of the happy kid in the school patio – the one who plays, interacts, runs around with a ball. That kid is building physical resistance, sports aptitudes, and social capabilities. And the same can be applied to you in your workplace.

Putting it simply, when you are happy you are receptive to learning. Now think about how that might play out in a work situation or in terms of your professional development.
