Hidden amongst the simple, routine tasks of your job are opportunities to create art—experiences that inspire, motivate and connect with others. The story of Johnny the grocery bagger is commonly shared to illustrate how you can make a difference by putting “your personal signature on the job.”

But there are numerous other examples:

David Holmes did it while making announcements.

Ericson Calderon did it while serving ice cream.

Matthew Weathers did it while teaching math.

Ryan Matthew Burgos did it while pouring drinks.

So do the task at hand and do it well. But if possible, consider turning it into art. Doing so may require some bravado, certainly a willingness to fail, and it may produce nothing more than embarrassment. That’s the risk.

But when it resonates, everyone—your customers, your coworkers, your friends and family, and most importantly, you—will enjoy the reward.
