Online Training: Positive Thinking (lunch and learn)

This programme has been developed for participants who would like to develop a positive mental attitude by exploring ways to improve their positivity.

Based on a 75-minute session, the programme covers:

  • The importance of healthy, positive thinking
  • Understanding our thought processes
  • Choosing how to think
  • Establishing and maintaining new patterns of thinking.

The programme, although serious in nature, will be delivered in a fun and interactive manner, with some activities built-in (no role play!).

Each participant will receive a copy of the PowerPoint slides.
