Using Positive Psychology to Succeed in
Business and Life
(Available in: Keynote Presentations, Half-day Seminars, Full-day Programs, Webinars, and Internet-Based Challenges)
Everyone agrees that a “positive attitude” is important for success in business – as well as in life. But very few people have gone deeper than the platitude “have a positive attitude.” Just what is a positive attitude? What is its role in work productivity? And just as importantly, how do you develop a positive attitude – and how do you reclaim it after a particularly bad day?
Using Positive Psychology to Succeed in Business and Life addresses these questions. CatchFire Café is part of a vanguard group in the new field of Positive Psychology studying the role of positive emotions in business. The research is clear: positive emotions help you live longer, have better health, work more productively, and make more money.
The unfortunate fact is that many people have negative mental habits that sabotage performance. Positive Psychology for Success teaches how to recognize negative emotions, release them, and then develop the courage, creativity, and persistence to achieve extraordinary results.
CatchFire Café’s fun, high-energy presentation includes cartoons, movie clips, and inspirational success stories from interviews with successful executives. It then goes further, detailing practical ideas and daily habits that ignite superior productivity, greater creativity, and a higher quality of life.
