Negativity is contagious. Your mood is your choice. You can learn to use positive thinking scripts to change the way you deal with difficult situations. This entertaining interactive course will provide skills and strategies for people to build and develop their communication skills and self-esteem so they can be more confident at work.

At Cutting Edge all is not well. Steve is feeling unmotivated and negative about his job, after losing a sale. Casey tries to cheer him up and Carol offers advice about being in the Negative Land of W. Carol tells the team that certain people (like Steve), are in the Land of W – Wasting time, Wishing they were somewhere else and Whining about it. Marcus offers a group strategy for dealing with the negativity and moving to the Positive Land of W. Carol’s advice strikes a chord with Steve and he goes on to help Dion through a setback. Next day Carol explains that Steve has made the important change of becoming a Chooser – he can choose his positivity over negativity.
