How to Stay Positive When Everything Feels Negative

About this course

I don't know about you, but for me the last several years have felt hard. Actually, harder than hard. They've felt:FrustratingOverwhelmingIsolatingTerrifyingAnd even hopeless, at times.And chances are, you've been riding the waves of ups and downs, wondering if things were going to slow down, get easier, or let up for a bit. You know, so we can all catch our collective breath, right?What I've found is that things aren't necessarily changing, so I am the one who needs to change.And just who am I? I am Deborah Grayson Riegel, a lifelong anxiety sufferer who tends towards pessimism rather than optimism, and can always come up with a reason why something could get worse.  (I sound like I'd be a lot of fun at parties, huh?)I am also an executive coach, keynote speaker, bestselling author, Harvard Business Review columnist, and instructor at top business schools ranging from Wharton and Duke to Columbia and Peking University. For much of my personal life, I wrestled with negative thinking, while in my professional life, I helped tens of thousands of my clients change their mindsets, behaviors, approaches, and practices to:identify what's working wellimprove their self-talkget energy-sucking tasks off their platesstop complaining and start making effective requestshelp other people while helping themselveslean into hopeful mindsetsleverage gratitude...and so much more.And that's when I realized that positivity isn't something you're born with; it's a series of small, meaningful, manageable practices that anyone (including myself) can learn to use.This course is for you if you want more energy, more joy, more peace of mind, and more compassion
