Become an Optimist and Change Your Life Forever
Program Categories
Educational Programs, Miscellaneous
Audience Age
Adult
How we live - and, most importantly, enjoy - our life depends upon how we view the events we experience and the relationships we develop. Some people cower under an umbrella of pessimism while others choose to dance openly in the sunshine of optimism. Unfortunately, the current pandemic has given rise to more umbrella openings than joyful dancing.
But that can change. Behavioral scientists have proven we have the cognitive ability to transform our thoughts, beliefs and behaviors. This webinar opens the window on optimistic thinking for those who have yet to experience the joy of a life lived positively and encourages those who are already actively attempting to “stamp out” negativity to continue their quest.
This webinar is divided into two segments: lecture and question-and-answer period. The topics covered include affirmative thinking, gratitude, forgiveness, prioritizing happiness, sharing, present-moment living, and positive learning.
$150.

Bio in a Nutshell: Motivational speaker and author Constance Hallinan Lagan (NY) inspires people to live lives in accordance with their inner calling. Currently working on a new book, The Magnitude and Simplicity of Life, Connie remains faithful to her own inner voice, and, in doing so, makes others aware of their own inner spirit and empowers them to take “right action” to live in peace, happiness and harmony, whether they are seeking to engage in an entrepreneurial pursuit (Business Development), advance their career (Career Advancement), or enrich their lives through personal growth (Personal Enrichment). Connie’s programs have been sponsored by corporations, government agencies, professional associations, non-profits, women’s groups, healthcare facilities, financial entities, labor unions, churches, support groups, colleges, universities and libraries nationwide. Her byline appears in more than sixty publications. Librarians in Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Wisconsin and Wyoming have booked Connie’s webinars.
