Segment Ideas
Winn Claybaugh will help provide information for each of these topics:
- What keeps people from being nice?
Mostly, it's attitude and simply making a decision to be nice -- or not. But many people find it easier to whine, complain, or only be selectively nice. Too many people simply have bad manners, show no respect for others, fail to honor commitments or be on time for anything. They fear their needs won't be met or that nice behavior towards others won't be reciprocated. Many of us are critical of others, competitive, egotistical. We're stressed out and always in a hurry. But no one should be exempt from being nice.
- The value of gratitude letters to address unresolved issues.
There are things that happened to you in the past that you may wish to forget. Even if you're void of the pain of those experiences, you can go back to and turn them into benchmarks -- make your proclamation of what they meant to you, what you learned, what you lost, what you gained, and how you will be different.
- How to create a "bitch buddy" to improve your daily life.
When you have a bad day it is important that you don't pollute others with a toxic attitude. In such cases, you need help. You need a bitch buddy. This is someone you can gripe to -- like a therapist -- who is nonjudgmental, keeps things confidential, and helps you manage your rage, depression or bad attitude.
- Implementing a BE NICE community in the workplace to improve the bottomline.
It's vitally important that every workplace become nicer. You'll attract positive employees to your company and business by building an environment and culture that acknowledges, supports, appreciates, develops, and retains that type of person. Build it and they will come. A company that does not build it will eventually lose wonderful, positive employees.
- Before & After: A business adopts a BE NICE culture to succeed!
Prior to creating a culture in my company -- which meant that all systems and beliefs had to be written down and discussed over and over again -- we had hundreds of infractions every single day and never knew about them. We had insubordination, we had people subtly but perhaps not consciously sabotaging someone else's career, we had demoralizing comments regarding co-workers -- and we never knew about these infractions. We never knew that our culture was under attack, simply because we didn't know what our culture was. How was our culture defined? What did we believe in? What was our purpose together outside of making the cash register ring? All we knew was that it oftentimes wasn't fun at work, that we had high staff turnover, that we were attracting the wrong people, and that decent individuals were having a difficult time supporting and loving each other. We now have a culture of being nice in our workplace and it's great!
- Expanding your "Circle of Nice."
Being nice requires study, application, practice, and other people. Without practice and interaction with real, live human beings, no amount of studying will make you a nice person. Life is meant to be colorful, diverse, and dramatic.
- Creating the ultimate staff meeting.
- Avoiding Rush-Hour Road Rage
- Becoming part of the BE NICE Revolution
