Creating a Hero Culture at Work: The Power of Attitude, Resilience and Appreciation!
How do we create a Hero Culture at work, meaning how do we model the heroic qualities that can exponentially improve morale, attitude and increase resiliency? In Jennifer Webb’s highly interactive program she discusses how to further develop the “powers” we already have to get the results we want. Entertaining and informative, it also discusses the power of gratitude and the importance of appreciation.
Take-aways identify various Super Powers and how to leverage their strengths including Spontaneous Combustion-the Power to fire up and excite people, X-ray Vision-the Power to “see” through the problem person to his or her potential and Serendicity-the Power to attract luck and create opportunity.
