Positive Mental Attitude Training Course Content
Positive Mental Attitude Training - Day One - AM
Introductions
Positive attitude underpins your success;
There are six skills to master.
- Goal setting
- Clear communication
- Formulating logical plans
- Effective action
- Self-motivation (personal positivity)
- Leadership (inspiring positivity in others)
How to create and sustain a positive mental attitude
A positive attitude is the bedrock of your success because you can achieve only what you believe.
A positive mental attitude is a habit that can be cultivated and perfected
Goal setting is the foundation of a positive attitude
Goal setting is the Primary skill, since achievement means, “The achievement of a worthwhile GOAL”.
The first step in achieving a goal is to define it.
You need to know what you want; AND what others want
You can only get what you want, by trading with others, and giving them what they want in return.
All successful relationships are Win / Win relationships.
Therefore, you need to know two things
What you want AND What others want.
Seek first to understand, then be understood
How to set specific, worthwhile and ambitious goals
Effective goal setting is simple 8-part process that can be learned and perfected
Focus on the CAN-DO portion of the job
In any context, you can focus on two aspects of the situation:
- All the things that can be done. (The CAN-DO portion of the job)
- All the things that cannot be done. (The NO-CAN-DO portion of the job)
Many people are too concerned with the NO-CAN-DO portion of the job. They would rather be thinking negatively. They want to talk about WHY goals can’t be achieved.
You need to be a person who is more concerned with the “CAN-DO portion of the job”.
Learn this phrase from president Theodore Roosevelt
“Do what you can, with what you have, from where you are”.
Talk incessantly about the GOALS you want, and HOW they can be achieved.
Avoid negative commands: Give only positive commands.
Positive language is part of positive mental attitude (PMA).
Use language that create images in the mind that are consistent with what you DO want, (Not with what you DON’T want).
Create “positive pictures in the mind”.
Do all you can to inspire positive pictures in the minds of your listeners.
This is the secret of leadership and of positive thinking.
Positive Mental Attitude Training - Day One - PM
A positive approach to negative people and conversations.
“Life is not all sunshine and rainbows. It can be a very mean and nasty place”.
So, you need to be able to handle negative people and conversations in a positive way.
This afternoon we will look at how to handle negative conversations in positive ways.
Whenever you are in a conflict situation use only factual, NOT emotionalised language.
Don’t shy away from the issue. Meet it square on.
Positive self-image psychology. Never attack their character. Only comment on their behaviour.
Identify what you want - be specific, not vague
Identify the wrong actions. Be specific, not vague.
Explain WHY the action is wrong by referencing their inevitable negative consequences
Decide upon a corrective action
Agree upon the corrective actions
If necessary, negotiate mutually agreeable corrective actions
Gain commitment to improving performance. Ask for their 100% commitment
The proper use of praise and appreciation. Immediately praise any positive movement. Positive reinforcement tends to trigger more concessions
Negative reinforcement tends to trigger more resistance
Always finish on a positive note
Summary and close of day one's positive mental attitude training
Although I was cynical prior to the course, I found the course very rewarding and informative. An interesting two days, of great value. The trainer's presentation was exceptionally good.
Positive Mental Attitude Training - Day Two - AM
Mind over mood
Mind over mood
Act according to your plan not your mood.
Don’t be a moody individual.
Operate according to your plan.
In order to act according to your plan, you need to have a plan.
The importance of planning
A Positive attitude is based on sound planning.
Self-discipline should override procrastination.
Procrastination is the art of putting off what you know you need to do.
Self-discipline is the art of doing what you know you need to do.
Prioritise your tasks according to value, not by their pleasure quotient.
Prioritise your tasks according to how much value they add to yourself and others: NOT on how pleasurable or easy they are.
Many people do the easiest things first.
How to make positive decisions.
Positive people are able to make decisions quickly and well.
Positive people have the courage to act on a decision once it is made.
Negative people fail to make decisions, (for fear of making a wrong one). Because they are thinking negatively, they will be slow to act once the decision has been made.
Improve email management to help your mind
We will discuss how you can get the best from emails. Top tips on how to manage both incoming and outgoing messages.
Positive people are decisive.
- Yes or no decisions
- Which one? decisions
- Priority decisions
How to solve problems
- Positive people solve problems
- Negative people complain about problems
- Positive people are psyched UP by problems
- Negative people are psyched OUT by problems
Positive people solve problems faster than they encounter them.
Negative people create problems faster than their colleagues can correct them.
Positive people understand that all problems have causes, which tend to suggest solutions.
Positive people investigate causes and they find solutions.
Positive Mental Attitude Training - Day Two - PM
Mind and Conversation Control
How your self-talk affects how you feel
How you act is affected by your attitude
Why you should get in the habit of maintaining a positive attitude
Your attitude is a reflection of your habitual thoughts.
You can control your thoughts.
Therefore; You can control your feelings and actions.
You can control your conversation.
Take control of your
- Thoughts
- Feelings
- Actions
- Conversation. And therefore your...
- Results
Control the content of your conversation.
Direct and control your conversations away from any descriptions of defeats and pessimistic futures.
Direct and control your conversation towards descriptions of an optimistic future.
Control the conversation of others and prevent them from thinking negatively.
Put limits on others talking for too long about fearful futures, and past defeats.
Your attitude is a reflection of your habitual thoughts
Apply the success formula to yourself and others.
Success is a cycle.
It is based on five words.
- Purpose
- Plan
- Action
- Feedback
- Change
This is how the five words are related:
Help others: Teach them your new skills.
Teach others and prove to yourself how the above system works to bring you want you want.
It is the goal you want to achieve?
- What is the plan that you think will achieve the goal?
- What is the priority action?
- What has the feedback been lately?
- What adaptive changes do you think you should make, to make things better than they are now?
Lead by example
Personal performance planning.
The Management and leadership skills on this course were well explained. Advise managers attend course. The trainer’s presentation was clear and interesting. Kept all the delegates interested/inclusive.
The Course Training Method
The training method follows this general pattern - the training is very interactive and interesting:
- The trainer gives a clear explanation of the point in question with specific examples.
- Then, the delegates practice by doing an exercise with each other.
- The delegates practice by doing an exercise with the trainer.
- All points are supported with full written notes to take away.
-
Delegates are asked to write down an associated action, for each point made.
(At the end of the day, we have about twenty such actions, from which the delegates choose six which are the most personally meaningful).
Note: we do not believe in placing people in any situation of embarrassment by demanding that they 'perform' in front of the whole group. So you can relax: come on this course and be at ease; ready to learn new skills!
