Working Together - Building Community
Changing minds…Engaging Students
It may seem lonely at the top, but it doesn’t have to be! A team is not just people who work at the same time in the same place. A real team is a group of very different individuals who share a commitment to working together to achieve common goals. Develop high-performance teams by building community through shared purpose, common strategies, effective communication, and focused group process. Learn ways to develop relationships, build involvement and work better as a team.
Your Attitude – Your Choice
Changing minds…Encouraging Students
Good things happen. Bad things happen. Sometimes really bad things happen! Success in life isn’t dependent upon what does or doesn’t happen to you. Rather, it often hinges upon how you react to what happens to you. Your attitude is a choice that you make every day. Your success or failure is just as much determined by your attitude as by your aptitude. At times, life may rot, but that doesn’t mean you have to stink up the place! This session highlights 5 principals of attitude and strategies for “bouncing back” in the face of adversity. Ron shares his 5 “atti-tules” (tools) to help you develop resiliency.
