The Power of Applied Optimism

This course is designed to help you take an accurate realistic view of your life and your circumstances. Forty years of scientific and medical research demonstrates that those who stand out in society - and in business in particular - do so mostly because their habitual thinking is optimistic. Not to be confused with positive thinking or self-affirmation, optimism deals with real life circumstances and events and focuses on how we explain those events. In his workshop, Dr. Blue:

Differentiates between optimism and positive thinking
Provides an assessment tool to help us determine our own level of optimism
Shares strategies for learning and applying optimism in our personal lives
Offers suggestions for increasing optimism in the workplace

This training program will teach you how to permanently raise your level of optimism. By reprogramming the way you explain events you can literally change your life.

You are Destined to Success

We all possess untapped potential. Ken shows how our thoughts and thus behaviors are up for grabs every day. An ancient writer said, "As a man thinks, so is he". Ken teaches innovative ways to remove negative habits of thought and skills to properly interpret adversity. As we apply these principles we all become winners. The principles are simple and Ken presents them in a way that they will never be forgotten, helping us use and practice them from the moment we first understand.

Motivational Interviewing

You want to, you try to, but you can't. Think of all the situations where you have wanted to do something but couldn't: quit smoking, take courses, exercise regularly. You want the end result, but can't seem to follow your plan through to completion. From the belief that each of us already has sufficient motivation to attain the goals we set for ourselves, Dr. Blue uses proven interviewing techniques to tap into our raw, hidden potential. Motivational interviewing is now employed by the San Diego Parole Board to help rehabilitate people with all kinds of negative habits, including drug addiction.

Conflict Resolution

This is a critical subject for the work place and our personal lives. Ken shows how resolving conflicts starts with determining our group non-negotiables, maintaining mutual respect and committing ourselves to open communication. He not only helps us understand the principles, but helps uncover the lies and habits of thoughts that keep us from practicing these principles for success.

Self-Efficacy and Esteem

Most current success material is based on the formula talent + desire = success. Research shows however that people who are successful have high self esteem. Ken shows how to distinguish healthy self esteem from egotism and arrogance. Through describing the three aspects of self esteem, he demonstrates through practical exercises and examples how we can remove the layers and labels from our lives that keep us stuck.

Servant Leadership

We may all get what we want in life as we help others get what they want. Ken shows how some very simple, straight-forward principles can transform your work place and personal relationships. Ken illustrates through many examples that we don't need to keep looking for the complex new approaches because these principles, tried and tested, work.
