The Seven Great Attitudes

AiA Classic explores and builds the Seven Great Attitudes that are the keys to personal and organizational success.

Understanding: A major compliant in relationships is he/she doesn’t understand me.

Anticipation: This attitude defines planning, organizing and establishing goals. People who lack these abilities are like ships without courses.

Expectations: Numerous studies have indicated that people will act just about the way they are expected to act. Successful people are those who have positive expectations of themselves.

Confidence: Self-confidence is the quality of the professional. It is only achieved by complete job knowledge and interpersonal skills acquired through training and practice.

Patience: Patience dilutes tension, one of the primary obstacles to diffusing conflict.

Humility: Humility is the practice of making the other person feel important.

Belief: Believing in a product, service, cause or job is a requirement for an individual to become motivated. The team member having belief provides sincerity and enthusiasm to those around them. Such attitudes and emotions are contagious, and they motivate others to achieve greatness.

Participant Driven

AiA Classic is almost totally participant-driven. The facilitator coordinates the process but the learning comes from the participants as they travel together through this exciting course of self-discovery.
