Session Description

Have you noticed that some people are able to maintain a relatively positive attitude regardless of what’s happening around them? Like everyone, they can appreciate the good times, but they also seem to be able to focus on the positive in the face of so much uncertainty and what seems like a string of daily negative events.

Fortunately, a positive attitude can be cultivated, with a little practice. Although we are born with specific temperamental tendencies, the brain is a muscle, and you can strengthen your mind’s natural tendency toward optimism if you work at it. And also, fortunately, working on building your "gratitude muscle" can be enjoyable in itself. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed and frustrated or just want to increase your happiness, you can learn how in just a few minutes a day!

Learning Objectives

• New ideas for boosting your own attitude and ways to increase productivity at work
• How positive psychology and social-emotional intelligence impacts your performance and health
• To develop strategies for creating a positive culture at work
• Practical strategies for happiness on a daily basis at work
