DO YOU NEED AN ATTITUDE BOOST AT WORK?

People have over 30,000 thoughts per day to keep positive. When things go wrong, the weather is cold, there's no sunshine, it's raining, there's deadlines and the traffic is slow, it's fairly natural for people to feel a little negative. However, the key is to to keep performing by having an uplifting work environment. After the last week of highs and lows throughout the world, this could be as simple as asking everyone to write on a list: WHY THEY ENJOY WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY? People might write: provides good coffee, safe transportation to work, get paid every week, or great workmates ...or it's located in the land of the All Blacks! When you have the list, display it.

Alternatively, if you're feeling a little low at work, list the reasons why you enjoy working for your company.

This comment was from a reader about my second book in my Attitude Training Programme - 200 Power Tips to Keep Your Attitude Positive. It has tips for both your professional and personal life.

NZ's SECOND SELF-ESTEEM DAY on 6th July, was a SUCCESS!

It reached thousands of New Zealanders via the Viva radio show and my interview with Raylene Ramsey and it was mentioned on TVNZ on Close-up by Susan Wood. Most of the schools around Auckland were contacted and the local newspapers around New Zealand. Next year I want to do bigger and better! Any help or sponsorship is welcome.

The web page is still current if you wish to visit it, along with the fr'ee e-book download. www.attitudespecialist.co.nz/self_esteem.shtml

Here's another 10 tips and you'll find more on the above mentioned page.

• Celebrate each person's anniversary with the company.
• Remember birthdays
• Ask for ideas for improvements
• Give them credit and recognition for any improvements
• Send personal email messages - i.e. Great job on ?? report.
• Put up attractive pictures of inspirational, motivational posters for employees, not just managers offices
• Share the task of choosing the posters amongst groups of employees - to choose and change them regularly
• Provide a regular morning tea
• Allow a casual day out of uniform
• Many people are juggling roles - allow them flexibility for schedules
