Work Life Balance And The Power of Positive Thinking

| Can we learn how to respond optimistically and hopefully to events that challenge work life balance? According to psychologist and researcher Martin Seligman, the answer is YES.

Fortunately, you do not have to settle for the wiring you were born with. Find out how you can improve your resilience and your hopefulness by acquiring solid positive thinking skills. |

How Business Boosts Development
| |
| The experience of the richer powers today shows that the private sector provides the base for a country's development, said Paul Martin, Prime Minister of Canada. Visitors to most developing countries see evidence of widespread entrepreneurship in bazaars and markets and of the skills possessed by local people. So why have these nations not also been able to make the same economic advances as countries in Europe and North America? One explanation he has heard, said Martin, is that indigenous business has no confidence that it will be able to overcome the various administrative barriers that dominate economic life, that property rights can be protected, or that legal systems can bring real justice. How far is this true? he asked his fellow panellists.

How to Respond to Criticism – Learning from Dr. King
| |
| I am embarrassed to tell you that, up until three weeks ago, I had never read Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Letter from a Birmingham City Jail. It is, without a doubt, one of the best case studies in how to deal with criticism I’ve ever come across. |

Choosing Our Reality
| |
| An optimist expects the best possible outcome and dwells on the most hopeful aspects of a situation. He or she believes that this is the best of all possible worlds, the universe is improving, and good will ultimately triumph over evil. An optimist believes no one ever ruined their eye sight by looking at the bright side of life. Research on Emotional Intelligence, Attribution Theory (see Martin Seligman's book outstanding book Learned Optimism), and related fields show that optimists not only go further in life, they also have a much better time on the trip. Optimists are generally healthier, happier, and leaders in their fields. |

Leaders Inspire Their Teams With Optimism
| |
| Seligman has found that pessimists fall into the trap of the three Ps when faced with negative change or setback. They make the issue Permanent, Pervasive and Personal. They avoid wearing clean underwear because it will only tempt car accidents.
When faced with difficult change or problems, we have three choices. We can be a Survivor and just hang in there, hoping for the best, sitting on the fence, and waiting to see what happens. Or we can choose to be a Victim, using the situation as one more example of how these terrible things keep happening to us.
