Takeaways:
- See their world in reverse (as cause v. effect)

Introduction by: Patricia Crawford, Media Coordinator
Each of us is the sum of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. If “thoughts are the language of the mind and emotions are the language of the heart,” as Dr. Joe Dispenza describes, what are the ways you can shift your thoughts to convey positive emotions that translate into behavior, developing a wholehearted and empowered leader? Are we capable of converting our emotions from present pain to future benefit? Can we merge leadership and equanimity and create a balanced life? Yes, we can! Join us to learn the tools behind Positive Intelligence to transform you into being the ideal team leader with the ultimate ROI!
