Communications and Public Speaking: Pick Your Path, 21 Days to Set Your Mental Autopilot on the Right Course

Virtual Meeting

Title: Pick Your Path, 21 Days to Set Your Mental Autopilot on the Right Course

Abstract:
Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can or you can’t, you are right.”  Our thoughts deeply shape our reality. Many of our thoughts are negative. Our negative thoughts lead us on a path to our results, holding us back from the success, relationships, opportunities and joy that we so desperately want. Instead, we feel stress and anxiety and are limited to a feeling of malnourished self-worth and meager success.  

Learning Objectives: 

In “Pick Your Path” the audience learns: 

  • Everyone has negative thinking, and you can exchange limiting thoughts for healthy thoughts that lead to the life you want
  • How to turn adversities into advantages
  • 4 simple steps to transform your thinking

Speaker:  Elizabeh Mahusay
