Adventures in Attitudes® Seminar
A Guided Program for Achieving Personal and Professional Success

Employee attitude is increasingly cited as the top performance issue within companies, both large and small. Coping with the continuous change of the downsized, team-oriented, and increasingly diverse workplace has left many people confused, fearful, and sometimes angry. As attitudes deteriorate, so do commitment, loyalty, and performance.

Adventures in Attitudes is a performance improvement strategy for today’s and tomorrow’s workplace. It’s designed to help employees understand that how they perceive and respond to events around them is their choice. It’s key to establishing personal responsibility and accountability in the midst of change. And it’s critical in turning passive resistance into high-energy performance.

Empowerment begins with seeing the possibilities, not just the problems

Changing attitudes is risky. It means leaving where you are and not coming back. It means changing our perspectives about others and ourselves and stepping out of our comfort zone. It requires mental and physical stamina, courage, and even some distress.

It’s easier to say no to changing our attitudes than it is to say yes. But the nos are simply ways of
repeating the past. Saying yes opens up all sorts of new opportunities. Saying yes is the beginning of
discovering the power within to change attitudes, work ethic, relationships and your life.

Most people believe attitudes just happen. They don’t. The thoughts we hold in our mind, over time, become our attitudes. These attitudes become the blueprints for our experiences and actions. Negative attitudes full of fear, doubt and hate reinforce negative, unproductive, self-defeating behaviors. But thinking positively creates positive attitudes, responses and feelings to the people and events around us.

A time-tested performance improvement strategy

Adventures in Attitudes is a seminar built on two simple truths that most of us overlook:
1. Successful people have certain mental attitudes that make them successful
2. Negative attitudes can hold us back, and even cause failure

Experience this seminar and discover the power that positive attitudes can have in both your personal and professional life. Learn to recognize, avoid and overcome the negative attitudes that can rob you of happiness and success. Attendees will:

• Become committed employees, not compliant ones.
• Enhance their ability to communicate effectively with others.
• Develop the leader within.
• Increase their positive energy and reduce stress.
• Be willing to accept change, not resistance it.
• Create a roadmap for success.

Positive attitudes are the key to unlocking people’s productivity, creativity and energy. By fostering personal attitudinal change you can get what you want out of life.

The Adventures in Attitudes experience

The Adventures in Attitudes seminar guides people through a self-discovery process using small group interaction, shared personal experiences, individual and group exercises and facilitator-led discussions. The level and intensity of participation is determined solely by the individuals. But most attendees recognize early on that this is not “training as usual”. They quickly embrace their active, personal role in the process. Learners move through ten high-involvement modules critical to their personal and professional success.

The Adventures in Attitudes program provides individuals with the knowledge and skills to develop and maintain positive attitudes. As a result of attending Adventures in Attitudes individuals will:

• Increase self-confidence and affirm strengths and abilities
• Learn to transform negative attitudes into positive ones
• Develop effective listening and communication skills
• Achieve new levels of performance through goal-setting techniques
• Improve relationships and reduce conflict
• Overcome self-imposed limitations, fears and doubts
• Make decisions with confidence
• Learn practical and effective approaches to problem-solving
• Increase work force performance by maximizing individual productivity

It’s not easy to change our attitudes, behaviors and habits. It takes time. It takes practice. It takes commitment. But the success and exhilaration you experience when you act instead of react, when you’re in control instead of out of control, and when you experience success instead of failure, is the reward you receive as you gain the freedom and power to choose your own attitudes.

Say yes and discover the power within you to positively change your attitudes, your work and your life
