 For Managers – 7 actions to help you build a positive team
 
1. Be positive – think positively, speak positively and behave positively – it makes sense that this will have a positive effect on your team.
 
2. Break out of the norm – add creativity, fun and adventure to your team meetings and events.
 
Positive team
3. Speak about positive thinking and behaviour – we do tend to get what we talk about – assuming we also live it.
 
4. Create a positive environment – this is about facilities, supervision and team spirit – dirty old plastic chairs and broken equipment send out a message that you don’t care – negative and overbearing supervisors very quickly kill positivity.
 
5. Celebrate success – whilst you have to correct mistakes it is too easy to forget to praise success and achievement.
6. Think before you speak – so often managers find themselves apologising for misunderstanding a situation and jumping in with negative words – the apology is admirable but you can’t take back the words.
 
7. Look after yourself – tired and burned out managers are not likely to be the most inspirational managers – take your lunch break!

  For Trainers – Training resource - are you a positive thinker?
 

Take a look at the positive thinking blog and feel free to use it during your training sessions to get your delegates thinking about positive thinking. Some may score themselves higher than they should! … But the point is it makes them think about their behaviour

 

 
  Training in Action: Positive Thinking courses
 

Question: Why is it important to be positive?

Answer: well the answer is really a question ... Have you ever met a negative person who was truly happy?

Ask people at work what they talk about in the staff canteen. Many many times they will say they talk about work, managers and colleagues. And they will admit that most of the discussion is negative.

Managers send their employees on all kinds of training courses such as technical courses, safety, presentation skills etc and of course these are all important and have their place. However, if when they return to work they still feel negative about their job, or their boss, then this negativity will affect them in their work and could negate all of the benefits of the training they received.

We all need to think and behave positively if our business and our personal lives are to be successful and rewarding.

At Syd Strike Training Solutions, we deliver positive thinking courses for our clients and they work. Sometimes we deliver positive thinking sessions under a different name. Some people do get offended at being sent on certain courses, so we are happy to make it easy for everyone. Very often we weave positive thinking and motivation into skills and management courses or customer care courses. Would not our customers receive better service if staff were not only skilled but also extremely positive? Ah, some may say you can train a person in skills but you can’t train them to be positive. Well I am sure that we can influence people and help people to believe in themselves – this can have a powerful impact on people’s positivity and motivation. That’s why our message at Syd Strike Training is ‘enhancing business performance by releasing people potential’ That’s what we do. So think about investing in a positive thinking or motivational course.

Your positive thinking event is tailored to your needs and preferences and usually includes high energy discussion groups, motivational input and gentle, positive challenge and can include fun activities and team challenges with a positive thinking twist, review sessions and dozens of ideas for action.

Quote of the Month

 

People will forget

“People will forget what you said, they will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel”

 

The Light Touch

 

Thou shalt not kill

A teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.

After explaining the commandment to honour thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"

One little boy jumped in with an answer "Thou shall not kill."
