DESPITE PANDEMIC CHALLENGES, L&D PROFESSIONALS ARE MANAGING TO CREATE A NEW TRAJECTORY BASED UPON HELPING PEOPLE INSTITUTE POSITIVE HABITS AND LEAN INTO SOCIAL CONNECTION.

Two decades of research by Training 2022 keynote speaker Shawn Achor, and others, show that the greatest competitive advantage in the modern economy is a positive and engaged brain—especially during crisis and suffering. The more positive the brain becomes during challenges, the more capable it is to proactively adapt to changing circumstances and recover from stress, anxiety, and trauma.

In this webinar we’ll explore the key insights from new research into the four primary ways in which leaders and cultures are able to break negative social scripts and find a way to lead positive change and embrace the new world of work well-being. Discover what leading with optimism really looks like in times of significant challenge.

From research examples featured in Harvard Business Review as well as from companies including USAA, Farmers Insurance, Genesis Health Systems, North Country Family Health Center and others, you’ll learn the power of:

• Creating positive habits to imprint the belief that change is possible
• Cultivating positive moments (small, intentional acts that can create lasting positive emotions)
• Training our brains to scan for positivity (and breaking patterns of negative thinking)
• Doubling down on social connection

Based on the works of positive psychology researcher, Shawn Achor and taught in Harvard’s famed happiness course and to companies worldwide, The Happiness Advantage provide a sustainable approach to increasing optimism and resilience, reducing stress, and enhancing productivity at the individual, team, and organization level.

All participants will receive a copy of New York Times best-selling author and positive psychology expert Shawn Achor’s business parable, The Orange Frog.
