Luck!! Why it does not exist and how to get more of it!

Description

Traditional notions of ‘luck’ conceive of it as some arbitrary force that you either have or don’t have.  Modern psychological research into the phenomena, however, shows that ‘lucky’ people seem to share certain ways of thinking and acting in the world that are responsible for the positive results they produce which they then ascribe to ‘luck’.   This training introduces this research, explores these ‘lucky’ traits and shows how anyone can start to reproduce them in his or her own life for personal and professional gain.

Who should attend?

Anyone would like to learn how to obtain a fresh appreciation of their relationship with the phenomenon formerly known as ‘luck’ and discover how to acquire the thinking and behavioural styles of ‘lucky’ people.  Anyone who wishes to help foster a ‘culture of luck’ within their organisation.

Who will the workshop benefit?

As an attendee you can expect to develop an understanding of how you actively (if unwittingly) influence the results you create in all aspects of your life – personal and professional.  You will acquire specific, transferable skills to adapt the perspectives, attitudes and behaviours of ‘lucky’ people, drawing similar results into your own life
