Last week at the talk by Jacqueline Scott, she mentioned that successful women leaders more often frame things positively. I admit that sometimes I have a hard time doing that, and my first, internal reaction to a problem is usually anger, or defeat, or blaming. (It’s hard to admit that, because I sort of pride myself on coming across as positive, capable, and grounded.) Her words last week were a good spark for me, to remind me of the vital importance of focussing on the good stuff.
I might write the words “real or fake?” and post them above my desk. Along with all the other post-its that are there, ha!
Do you struggle sometimes with positive framing? Please tell me I’m not alone! 🙂

I think that looking at things positively can become a habit….a good one and one worth working on. It certainly helps me to feel happier and accomplish more.
