Dopamine isn’t just for TikToks and text messages. It shows up in your workplace too.
Every “Great job,” every moment of anticipation, every story told well is a hit of motivation.
Here’s the science, simplified,
Dopamine is the reward chemical.
It’s released when you’re chasing something meaningful.
But in business, we’ve replaced meaning with metrics.
Story flips the script.
It brings the chase back.
It makes the work worth the work.
Next time you’re leading a meeting or launching a product, think,
how do I build anticipation? How do I spark a sense of progress? How do I make people feel the win before they even get there?
When dopamine is on your team, productivity isn’t forced, it’s fueled.
