Attitude and Behaviour Management
The New Science of Success and Wellbeing
ONE DAY WORKSHOP

ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT is a scientific approach
to achieving success and wellbeing at work and in life.
Achieving our ambitions and overcoming our problems is dependent on being able to effectively manage our
attitudes and behaviours. This one-day workshop gives an introduction to Attitude and Behaviour Management
(ABM), a scientific approach, based on positive psychology, for achieving higher levels of success and wellbeing in
your work and life.
What is Positive Psychology?
Positive Psychology is a branch of psychology that studies why some people are more successful, happy and fulfilled
than others. It is subject to the highest standards of scientific rigour. Since it’s inception 15 years ago hundreds of
studies have been conducted and published in scientific journals. The findings from these form the basis for ABM.
During the workshop you will learn:
The definition of success and wellbeing
The scientific basis of Attitude and Behaviour Management and the origins and history of positive psychology
the discipline on which it is based
Key concepts in positive psychology will be explained and illustrated with numerous case studies and examples
The five key principles of Attitude and Behaviour Management will be described and their application to
professional and personal success and wellbeing explained
Examples of what ABM can do for you:
Improved professional performance
Enhanced career prospects
Increased job satisfaction
Improved decision making
More effective management of employees and colleagues (whether formally in a management role or not)
Improved relationships at work and at home
A happier family life
Rewarding and fulfilling leisure time
A better understanding of yourself
Improved finances

The Principles of Attitude and Behaviour Management
The principles of ABM have impeccable evidence-based credentials. They are based on 15 years of research in positive
psychology, including hundreds of studies of those who achieve high levels of success and wellbeing and how they
differ from those who do not.
The principles are actionable and easy to understand. They are:
• Take Responsibility
• Set Goals
• Be Positive
• Persevere Intelligently
• Connect with Others
Here is some more detail:
Take
Responsibility
Set Goals
Empower yourself. Accept that you and you alone are responsible for your life
and career
Take your own path. Live the life that you want to live, don’t let others stand in
your way or knock you off course
Focus on what you can control. Make sure that all your efforts and energy are
going into what you can control and that you are not wasting energy on things
beyond your influence
Know yourself. Understand your strengths, values, talents, personality and
interests
Find your passion and purpose. Discover the things that make you passionate
and build your career and life around them
The process of goal setting. Set clear measurable goals that reflect your
ambitions in work and life
Be Positive
Living positively. How and why positivity drives success and wellbeing, how to
live happily and turn negatives into positives
Positivity boosters. How to get regular positivity boosts and why you will need
them
Resilience. How to stay positive and keep going in the face of setbacks
Persevere
Intelligently
Be determined and courageous. Develop persistence and grit, the two
characteristics most commonly associated with success
Understand what works. Get the best information available and use the best
tools and techniques at your disposal
Manage your time effectively. Make sure that you give sufficient time to the
important things, not just the urgent things
Connect
with Others
Get help from others. Identify those who can help you and seek their assistance
Influence and lead others. Understand how to motivate and persuade people
Build good relationships. Treat others as you would like them to treat you and
create win/win situations

During the workshop we will look at each of these principles in depth and demonstrate their importance. You will
learn a series of techniques for applying the principles to your life and work and will do group and individual
exercises to help familiarise yourself with them.
