Practical Positive Thinking

New perspectives and better problem solving

Being positive about what you can do, rather than focusing on reasons why you can’t do something, is a useful skill. In this short 6-minute podcast, Catherine de Salvo shares insights into how to reframe situations so you generate positive solutions and build rapport with others - even when you need to say ‘no’!
