How to overcome negativity (audio)

Recently I had the pleasure of giving a talk at First Tuesday, an outstanding service organization for women run by my good friend and colleague Marcy Cole.  The talk was about how to overcome negativity.  In a spirited 45min, I shared with the audience practical tools that take anyone’s state from ‘blah’ to ‘yeehah’ in mere seconds, including:

• The ‘Yes’ technique
• The pen technique
• Anchoring
• The FRC protocol (Feel-Rise-Choose)
• The color-water-shape-number technique <– deadly effective!
• Supremely corny jokes sure to lift your spirits (unless you’re a guy, ahem)
• And precisely one wagonload more
