“We all have some negative thoughts. Become a Less-Stressed, More Productive,
Person & Professional by learning to manage yours.
”
Description:
Raise your hand if you are a really negative person. Nobody. No one thinks that about
themselves. It’s like asking: “Who here has no sense of humor?” And yet, according to the
National Science Foundation, 80% of our daily thoughts are negative. Don’t worry: This session
is not about smiling profusely, looking on the bright side, or becoming Head Cheerleader,
Rhonda Ra Ra. It is about recognizing when we’re thinking negatively, how it impacts our
colleagues, students, and staff…and how to turn that around.
