The Power of a Positive Attitude
 

Have you ever been around a person with a negative attitude? People can choose to be negative or positive – it is their choice. Unfortunately, those that choose to be negative will poison the attitudes of others, cause conflict, complain and resist change. They suffer from what Greg calls, “mental constipation." You will learn what causes negativity, how to minimize its effects and how to change it. In his practical and motivational style, Greg unfolds a blueprint that has helped thousands of people empower themselves, transform others and drive a positive “can do” attitude throughout the organization. This session is designed to help human resource professionals and business owners become change agents to improve performance and deliver powerful results.
