Thrive Thursday #4 Foster Positive Relationships

At Positive Foundry, we believe when individuals flourish, organizations flourish and we want to help companies succeed while helping every member of the team live their best life! Join us for a series of 6 Thrive Thursdays where we’ll come together to learn new skills, connect with peers around the world for meaningful discussion, and takeaway easy-to-implement practice strategies.

Each 50 minute Thrive Thursday session delivers live training to develop a skill necessary for human flourishing.  Together we will explore a concept, dialogue in small groups, and leave each session with a plan to practice our learned skill.  Get ready to learn, connect, and practice with leaders from around the globe in these inspiring, energetic, and interactive sessions powered by Positive Foundry.   Investing in your personal and team’s well-being helps drive business performance, strengthens relationships, and even improves physical health. You’ll leave feeling refreshed and ready to grow!

In order to thrive, we need strong and positive relationships.  Our social connections are critical and require regular attention and emotional investments.  In this interactive Thrive Thursday session, we’ll explore emotional “bank accounts” and how we can strengthen our relationships with others, at work and at home.

Benefits of fostering positive relationships to you and your team/organisation 

  • Understand how little interactions affect our relationships
  • Explore active listening
