When someone comes to you to talk about a problem, if you move the conversation on to a discussion of potential solutions, you fuel their creative problem solving abilities on average by 20% - not to mention you make them feel better! You make them smarter and more empowered to tackle challenges.

Know that positive change is possible. It might not happen right away, but if you change your broadcast to them, that can have an effect on how they view the world.

Even five minute meaningful conversations with other people not only fuel us in the moment but also build up a reserve of social capital so that when hard times strike, we can draw down on that bank account.

Focusing on solutions fuels progress.

We are all constantly transmitting information to the people around us, and the messages we choose to communicate either create success or hold us all hold back.

Too often we forget how powerful we are as individuals to shape how other people see the world. Each one of us constantly broadcasts to other people - whether consciously or unconsciously - verbally or non-verbally - and those messages influence their brain.

Too quickly, venting can turn into dumping garbage on the people around us.
