Our attitudes influence how we think, feel, and behave toward ourselves and towards others. Whether a company hires a person is greatly impacted by the candidate's attitude. We can, however, change our attitudes.
(1) Firstly, discuss some of the attitudes most valued by employers as discussed in the e-text.
(2) Secondly, look at the Mayo Clinic web-link (Required Resources) that focuses on negative self-talk, also called cognitive distortions, (filtering, personalizing, polarizing, catastrophizing) and on positive thinking.
(3) Provide one example of negative self-talk that you have experienced or have observed in the workplace.
(4) Discuss how you can counteract that negative thinking by using positive thinking that would keep your attitude more in line with what employers are looking for in their employees.
(5) Lastly, watch the Sam Berns Ted Talk (Week 6: Required Resources) and discuss how he incorporated optimism in his life and had a positive attitude despite his challenges.
(6) How could you apply optimism to your life?
