Sustainable positive mindset
A challenge for the future
More detailed information
Research has shown and proven: people with a positive outlook on life build up reserves they can rely on when times get tough. They become more resilient, more social, emotionally intelligent, and even physically healthier. However, being positive is not as simple as the internet often suggests. When facing difficulties, a forced positive attitude can feel more toxic than helpful.
Living a positive life does not mean ignoring or suppressing negativity. Every personal and professional life experiences ups and downs. Dealing with these challenges requires mental resilience, which cannot be gained from simplistic positive slogans. Building a sustainable positive mindset takes dedication and patience.
In this keynote, you will discover six strategies to develop your own "mental six-pack," equipping you to handle setbacks, problems, and difficult emotions.
