HRAM December Program
Speaker: Lee Elliott, Wonderful Life Project
Extended Keynote: “It’s a Wonderful Life”
An effort to provide skills to as many people as possible that can be used to enhance their sense of well-being, their capacity to handle life’s hardships, to enjoy life, and—ultimately—to achieve a sense of fulfillment, that their life not only had meaning, their existence truly made a difference. By providing this knowledge, participants will have the knowledge and skills necessary to become exceptional people, to better their lives and the lives of those around them, and—potentially to have a truly wonderful life.
Sometimes, there are errors at the automatic level. When this happens, we experience a negative emotion. This is extremely important. Thoughts precede emotions and negative emotions are typically created by mistakes in our thinking at the automatic level. Moreover, science has shown how the conscious mind can be engaged to change these errors. As a result, we experience less negative emotion.
Lee will discuss on ten topics (at present, there will be more) and a variety of related exercises participants can use to “cement” the knowledge gained in the training. The topics are: high quality conflict, grudge busting, happiness, trust, resilience, stress management, psychology of morality, fulfillment, transformational change, and life planning.
The topics were chosen on the basis of recommendations of working people as well as relevant research. The training has now been provided in three contexts and all have produced highly desirable results. Some examples: reduced turnover, reduced medical costs, increased productivity, increased happiness, higher quality conflict, improved relationships at work and within families, and many others. Research has shown, “happiness makes good business sense. Moreover, employers and policy makers need to consider the happiness factor if they are to promote strong economies and profitable companies.” In short, it’s good business to provide what we are all striving to attain. Lee provides the skills to do this–and much, much more.
This program has been submitted for a total of 2 hours of General credit to the HR Certification Institute for review.
