‘It’s not the events that happen to us that define our happiness and success, but how we interpret them.’

Thank you so much for attending a Live BIG Optimism workshop, keynote or training. I really hope you enjoyed and got something you can practically use to help yourself and others create more happiness, calm and focus in life.

This page has resources to help you remember what we learned, practice it and go deeper.

TO DO

EXPLORE – Dive in to the resources on this page to deepen your learning.
PRACTICE – Think of 3 other problems & use the workbook to run them through the Optimism tool.
HABIT – Put an elastic band around one wrist. Every time you notice it, measure 1-10 how you are doing for Optimism. If it’s below an 8, switch wrists. If you can keep in on one wrist for one week, you can loose it – you have successfully drilled in your new Optimism habit.
TRAINING – If you want to go deeper, explore the Video On Demand version of the Optimism training programme here
