7 Principles for Positive Living

 Positive Living is a choice, not a birthright. We have the opportunity to create positive experiences in our lives while working through life's challenges. In Patricia's keynote talks, she draws from experts in her media programs, inspirational stories and her own life to introduce seven principles for positive living which will inspire you to honor your heritage, enjoy the precious present, use your imperfections to perfect your life, uncover your own innate abilities and talents, surround yourself with positives, respect, nurture and protect your relationships, and see miracles every day.

 Positive Living from the Inside Out

 We all understand and enjoy the benefits of our external accomplishments. When we add the dimension of internal achievements, we move to a deeper level where we can tap into our innate gifts. By finding and strengthening our intrinsic resources, we’re better able to make the right choices when life’s inevitable changes and challenges occur. In this workshop, we will explore the components of positive living as we define them uniquely for ourselves, the power of the positive perspective, how to heighten our awareness to achieve balance in our lives, and the quality of life we desire.

Participants will examine their own self-care techniques as they age and learn ways to enhance the quality of their lives.

Stress Management and Burn-Out Prevention

In this workshop, we discuss symptoms of burnout and ways to deal with them. After a didactic introduction, the group will identify the five most salient areas of stress and burnout using a confidential generic questionnaire. Though facilitated group interaction, discussion and problem-solving, participants will develop solutions to issues raised in their group. A summary of all the assessments will be shared in the large group for final discussion.

Coping With Difficult People

If you deal with difficult people in your life, this workshop will help you to understand how they think, why they do what they do, and specifically you can do to be less of a target for the difficult people in your life.  You will learn how to derail problem people, how to bring out the best in them, while being treated with respect.
