How To Create Powerful Human Experiences

Following on from my previous post “Emotioneering and Employer Branding”, here a post on how to create opportunities for powerful human experiences at work.

Martin Seligman is a renowned psychologist and a leading expert on the field of positive psychology. He developed the PERMA model, which identifies five essential elements that contribute to a fulfilling life and can help individuals achieve lasting happiness and well-being. These five elements are:

1. Positive Emotions: Positive emotions such as joy, gratitude, and love play a crucial role in enhancing our overall well-being. To create powerful human experiences, we can focus on cultivating positive emotions by engaging in activities that bring us joy, spending time with loved ones, and practicing gratitude.
2. Engagement: Engagement refers to the state of being fully absorbed in an activity that we find challenging and rewarding. To create powerful human experiences, we can seek out activities that challenge us and allow us to fully immerse ourselves in the present moment.
3. Relationships: Positive relationships with family, friends, and colleagues are crucial to our well-being. To create powerful human experiences, we can prioritise building and nurturing meaningful relationships with those around us.
4. Meaning: Finding meaning in life is essential to our overall well-being. To create powerful human experiences, we can focus on our values and goals, seek out opportunities to contribute to something greater than ourselves, and find purpose in our daily lives.
5. Accomplishment: Accomplishment refers to the sense of achievement that comes from setting and reaching goals. To create powerful human experiences, we can set challenging but achievable goals for ourselves and celebrate our accomplishments along the way.

In summary, to create powerful human experiences, we can focus on cultivating positive emotions, engaging in challenging activities, building and nurturing meaningful relationships, finding meaning in life, and setting and achieving goals. These elements, as identified by Seligman’s PERMA model, can help us find powerful and positive human experiences.
