The Power of Awe: Boosting Motivation at Silodisa for 2025

Welcome to this week’s blog, Silodisa team! On this September 19, 2025, we’re here to ignite the spark that makes us unique in integrated logistics. Today, we dive into a vibrant and timely topic: the power of awe at work. Drawing inspiration from recent research by Harvard, Stanford, and MIT, and connecting it to our mission at Silodisa, we’ll explore how awe can transform our motivation, combat burnout, and unleash innovation. Get ready for an inspiring journey!

What is Awe and Why Does It Drive Us?

Awe isn’t just a fleeting “wow!” moment; it’s that feeling that connects us to something bigger than ourselves. According to a 2025 study from Harvard’s Project Zero, 95% of professionals have experienced awe in their careers, and for 49%, these moments are “lifesavers” against stress. What triggers it? Observing a colleague’s dedication (70%), feeling the impact of your work (54%), or celebrating your own growth (19%). Picture the moment you optimize a route with our TMS and save a critical delivery—that’s pure awe!

From Stanford (“The Future of Motivation,” 2025), Professor Szu-chi Huang teaches us that motivation is a journey in three stages: the start (with quick wins), the middle (where we get stuck), and the end (focused on purpose). Awe acts as an adapter, helping us shift strategies when we falter. Her advice: write down your “why”—for example, “My work at Silodisa connects businesses with their customers”—and revisit it during tough times. Plus, connecting with colleagues prevents toxic competition and builds collective momentum.

Meanwhile, MIT Sloan (“Five Tune-Ups for 2025”) suggests “playing at work” to spark innovation and “discussing the undiscussable” for greater engagement. Experimenting with roles—like tweaking tasks for more impact or collaborating with other teams—creates awe. Another tip: help teammates master skills, like using our WMS for flawless inventory management. This reduces burnout by 30% and boosts creativity!

Awe at Silodisa: Our Logistics Strength

At Silodisa, awe is in our DNA. With 76,000 m² in Mexico City and 36,000 in Guadalajara, we lead with cutting-edge technology like WMS, TMS, and BI for smart deliveries. But the real engine is you: from drivers navigating our Thornton refrigerated vehicles with precision to analysts making data-driven decisions.

A recent client said: “Silodisa cut our costs and boosted productivity—it’s a game-changer!” That impact is collective awe. Think about it: when you see a teammate resolve a bottleneck in real-time using our GPS, or when your planning prevents supply chain errors, you’re creating connections that transcend. That’s what makes us leaders!

A quick story: in Guadalajara, a team reconfigured a warehouse using “cognitive crafting” (MIT), saving 20% in time. The leader shared, “We felt part of something bigger.” That moment of awe doesn’t just motivate—it strengthens our shared purpose.

Practical Actions to Bring Awe to 2025

Let’s make awe part of our daily work! Here are three actions based on the experts, tailored for Silodisa:

1. Make Impact Visible (Harvard): In weekly meetings, share stories alongside metrics. For example: “Your route saved 50 deliveries this week.” Celebrate effort, not just numbers.

2. Adapt Your Motivation (Stanford): Write down your logistics purpose and review it monthly. Form “awe pairs” with colleagues to share goals, like mastering new skills in our tech training.

3. Experiment and Play (MIT): Dedicate 15 minutes weekly to “redesigning” your role. How can you use AI for greater efficiency? Suggest ideas in anonymous surveys to discuss what’s usually left unsaid.

Goal for 2025: Launch a monthly “Awe Day,” where we share “wow moments” from the week in workshops. This will boost engagement, reduce turnover, and strengthen our team.

Call to Action: Share Your Awe Moment!

Silodisa team, awe is our fuel to tackle 2025’s challenges, from human-robot collaboration to sustainability. As Harvard says, these moments are “lifesavers” in stressful times. Let’s make every day count!

Your challenge: This week, identify an awe moment in your work—whether it’s a personal achievement, a teammate’s effort, or the impact of a delivery—and share it on our Slack channel. The best ones will be featured in our next blog.

Thank you for making Silodisa a leader in logistics with passion. Let’s keep creating awe moments together!

Connect, share, and keep inspiring.
