10 Reasons To Be More Like Jimmy Fallon

Former SNL comedian and now Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon has fashion sense and business savvy. Beyond that, he's got charm, drive, and a sick set of dance moves. He also may be the most likable guy on television. Maybe there's something about Jimmy that can help us succeed at work. Inspired by this blog post from I Like My Team.

1. Be Stylin'

We're not all born in the world of fashion but Jimmy's looks are timeless, trendy, and terrific. Take classic pieces and make them your own. This website even shows what his latest looks have been.

2. Be Drama-Free

Nobody wants to hear your drama at work. Nobody.

Take advice from this Jimmy gif and save the drama for your Mama (or yourself).

3. Be Charming

Who doesn't want to be around a cute and cuddly puppy?

Like the puppy, Jimmy Fallon continues to shine in an adorable (yes, admit it) way with his charm. Heck, be like that at work. Show others your charm.

4. Be Silly

Being able to have someone that is usually serious, smile, is a talent of Jimmy Fallon. In being silly, you'll make someone smile. And Jimmy says everyone looks much better when they smile.

Yeah, that's Will Ferrell and Michelle Obama. Watch the video here.

5. Be On Your Feet

To be a successful team player you need to consistently be on your feet. Be the first to pounce in excitement, show you're listening, and heck, maybe that means a little dancing.

6. Be Positive

The other late night hosts own satire, snarkiness and sarcasm. Fallon? He's the nice guy. Jimmy says, "We're pretty positive. Someone who just went to rehab, someone who tried to commit suicide, someone who just got a divorce—we don't hit them." Hey, we can't all be funny but we can be positive and sensitive to what others may be going through.

7. Be Visible

Sure, viewership is important. Jimmy Fallon wouldn't be the new host of The Tonight Show if his ratings weren't solid. Fallon's audience stretches beyond television to his growing online audience. His YouTube hits reach over 10,000,000 and growing. In the famous words of Fallon, "If people want to see you, they'll find you. If they don't see you on TV, they'll find you on the Internet."

8. Be Trustworthy

Because of Jimmy's positive approach to everything, his guests trust him. And that opens the doors to the highest level of engagement. Be trustworthy. It lowers anxiety about experiencing new things - even the silly things they do together in sketches.

9. Be Driven

"There's always going to be someone out there... who doesn't believe in you or who thinks your head is too big or you're not smart enough. But those are the people you need to ignore, and those are the times you need to just keep doing what you love doing."

- Jimmy Fallon

10. Be Yourself

We don't all have late night comedy shows. Work can be hard. But it's okay to let yourself love what you do even if it's not what you want to do forever. Have fun being yourself and learning at work. Heck, those are life lessons.
