Benefiting From Positive Thinking Seminars

By Nancy Gardner


Making a positive change in life takes some effort on the individual who wants a better life for themselves. Oftentimes it does not matter if a person has a lot of money or is popular with others. Anyone who attends positive thinking seminars will often discover the key to a life that is more productive and come in contact with others who can act as a support system.

As taking the first step is the most important, it is followed by being able to open up and accept that resolve is needed. Past incidents or paths chosen can have quite an impact on those who may feel they have made a mistake in life. While making mistakes is a normal part of growth, some prevent themselves from enjoying the life they deserve and having the confidence to accept who they are as a person.

Next is finding someone who is easy to relate to in their interaction with others. Credentials such as a post baccalaureate degree is nice but sometimes it takes a certain approach to execute positive conversation. Oftentimes, people who have life experience or are great storytellers can also communicate the most effective messages to an audience.

The tone that a speaker uses can also have an effect on how the audience receives the message. A person who uses little emotion but gives relatable accounts can be just as good as someone who relies on a lot of call and response during their presentation. Oftentimes, handouts or some kind of physical takeaway may be used to reinforce the message.

Authenticity is also a desired trait. A person who has had their own personal battle with the bulge may show more compassion in speaking than someone who has never had a weight problem. While a person can pretend to be empathetic or seem like they are listening to feedback, sometimes their resolution can lack real life experience.

A good speaker should genuinely care about their audience. If they know of what they speak, as opposed to jumping on trends, they should be able to address most seminar attendees without hesitation. Even if there is a matter the speaker cannot address at the time of presentation or contact, they should open the doors for future communication.

A shy speaker sometimes has little to offer, as one who delivers cookie cutter information to the audience. Attendees who can access the services of the speaker or receive contact information during presentation are those likely to become long time supporters. A session that allows for feedback is desirable for all who are participating.

Finally, being able to see results is the purpose of attending a seminar. Speakers should give attendees genuine feelings of confidence or hope without delivering false promises or pressuring them to spend money. Even if the results are not immediate, attendees often feel good knowing they have met others with whom they have something in common. A positive experience at first contact may be worth investing in products or services that will help to enrich their lives.
