The Axis of Attitude: Using Story to Change Attitudes to Achieve Goals
Session Type
Doing (Workshop): 90-120 minutes
Session Description
Attitude is core. It determines what we do, what we don’t do. It determines how far we excel or decelerate. No matter how good we are at our job, no matter how passionate we are about our purpose, if the person or people group we are reaching out to does not have the right attitude, it can be frustrating…and the desired results are never reached. But there is hope. There is a way to change someone’s attitude…to help them see what was, what is, and most importantly…what could be. And it’s free. No fancy paperwork, brochures, videos, or training. Just a simple, highly effective concept that is already alive within you. And you don’t even know it. Yet.
