• Slide 3: The Big Idea (pages 78-79)
• We control our own thoughts, whether they are negative or positive. If we wake up everyday with a negative outlook and attitude we are going to produce a negative life. Negative thoughts lead to negative behavior, positive thoughts lead to positive behavior. Think of treating your mind the way we treat our bodies, if we eat healthy and work
out for a couple of weeks we began to think of our bodies in a positive manner and feel good about ourselves. We can make those same changes with our minds.

• Slide 4: What’s in it for your audience? Explain why your topic is important or worth discussing.
• Changing your attitude can drive your success in your career.
• Imagine being at a job interview, you are interviewing against a person that has the same education and experience. The difference between the two of you is attitude, the other individual interviewing for the position has a positive attitude, appears driven and willing to work for the common good of the organization. You present yourself with
a negative attitude, seem unwilling to want to work with others. Who do you think would get the job? The individual with a positive attitude would.

• Before you can start changing your entire life, you need to start with your attitude. Make your goal “I want to be a better leader, mentor, family oriented” and then make your thought process match what you desire.

• Slide 8: Introduce and set up Supporting Point One
• Identify you have a positive attitude: Accepting that you have a negative is one thing but identifying what gives you a negative attitude will help you eliminate it and correct it.
• Change the negative influences: Once you have identified what causes your negative attitude, learn how to either overcome its negativity or remove it from your life.
• Start liking you: Praise yourself for your success, if you tell yourself that you can’t then you will believe it, if you keep telling yourself that you can, then you will believe it.

• Slide 9: Factual or emotional evidence
• The evidence is all around us, what we put into ourselves is what we get out of it. Leaders John Maxwell and Zig Zigler preached for years and still continue to spread their teachings and beliefs that we are capable of doing anything we set out mind to. They have published hundreds of books and are credited motivational speaker and
have created multi-million dollar leadership certification courses focusing on creating positive attitudes and positive people.

• Slide 13: Factual or emotional evidence
• I maintain motivation by reading one John Maxwell book every two weeks taking a few minutes each day to read. This keeps me focused on what I want to achieve as well as getting more information on how I can grow. I also start my day with a positive attitude by listening to motivational podcast in the car on my way to work, this
sets my day off on the right path of maintaining a positive attitude.

• Slide 16: Factual or emotional evidence
• I used my attitude to influence others which caused them to want to follow me. Once I established myself with good leadership skills and a positive attitude I was moved to a position of authority above my level or rank. I was able to use a positive attitude to gain recognition for the work I had been doing the entire time that was
overlooked because I had a negative attitude.
