• Slide 1: Hook/attention grabber
• We all have worked with or went to school with a person that has an overall bad attitude. What usually makes the situation worse, is that person is most likely a good worker or good student that is blinded with negativity. What if we had the power to change our attitudes and in return change our lives?

• Slide 2: Hook/attention grabber
• What do you lose when you have a negative attitude, leadership, follower ship, creditability, and likability.
• When we have a negative attitude we usually have a different perception of ourselves than others do. We usually don’t recognize that we have a negative attitude we only see how we are the victim.

• Slide 3: The Big Idea (pages 78-79)
• We control our own thoughts, whether they are negative or positive. If we wake up everyday with a negative outlook and attitude we are going to produce a negative life. Negative thoughts lead to negative behavior, positive thoughts lead to positive behavior. Think of treating your mind the way we treat our bodies, if we eat healthy and work
out for a couple of weeks we began to think of our bodies in a positive manner and feel good about ourselves. We can make those same changes with our minds.

• Slide 4: What’s in it for your audience? Explain why your topic is important or worth discussing.
• Changing your attitude can drive your success in your career.
• Imagine being at a job interview, you are interviewing against a person that has the same education and experience. The difference between the two of you is attitude, the other individual interviewing for the position has a positive attitude, appears driven and willing to work for the common good of the organization. You present yourself with
a negative attitude, seem unwilling to want to work with others. Who do you think would get the job? The individual with a positive attitude would.

Positive Attitude = Success
• Slide 5: Why should your audience listen to you? Explain your ethos (personal experience, expertise, and credibility).
• I have been guilty of having a negative attitude, it cost me chances at advancing in my career, and not feeling good enough as well as not having the ability to lead properly.
• I chose to change my attitude, not just for myself but for everyone that is involved with me. I started small, waking up and just telling myself I will have a positive attitude no mater what. If I deviated from that I wrote down what caused me to have a negative attitude that day. What I realized is that I did in fact have the capability to control my
attitude even when outside sources gave me a reason to bring it down. The change was slow, and it took persistence, but I did change and became more successful and happy than I thought was possible.

- John Maxwell

daily and then you can manage
your life.”

You Are Capable of Anything
• Slide 9: Factual or emotional evidence
• The evidence is all around us, what we put into ourselves is what we get out of it. Leaders John Maxwell and Zig Zigler preached for years and still continue to spread their teachings and beliefs that we are capable of doing anything we set out mind to. They have published hundreds of books and are credited motivational speaker and
have created multi-million dollar leadership certification courses focusing on creating positive attitudes and positive people.

• Slide 11: Introduce and set up Supporting Point Two
• Re-enforce positive thoughts: Continue to work everyday towards having a positive attitude

!!

• I found praising myself made me feel great about myself. Once I seen how people reacted towards me when they seen a positive change in my attitude, I rewarded myself with self-praise everyday.

• I maintain motivation by reading one John Maxwell book every two weeks taking a few minutes each day to read. This keeps me focused on what I want to achieve as well as getting more information on how I can grow. I also start my day with a positive attitude by listening to motivational podcast in the car on my way to work, this
sets my day off on the right path of maintaining a positive attitude.

Leadership
• I used my attitude to influence others which caused them to want to follow me. Once I established myself with good leadership skills and a positive attitude I was moved to a position of authority above my level or rank. I was able to use a positive attitude to gain recognition for the work I had been doing the entire time that was
overlooked because I had a negative attitude.
