This week we will focus on the Other People Matter Mindset: Cheering Others' Successes

What it means...

Cheering others' successes means being happy for them when they succeed. This could look like telling others with your words or just supporting them with a smile or a cheer.

Why it matters...

Research shows that when we cheer others on we build posiitve relationships while improving our own health and happiness. Also, on a group level, when we cheer others on it has a snowball effect and creates a positive school culture.
