The Centre for Optimism

Ignite your organisation's Leadership Potential with Magnetic Optimism! Magnetic Optimism is optimism that is so tangible and a vision that is so compelling that people are drawn to touch the future through you. It’s not just a mindset—it’s an infectiously optimistic leadership force that drives innovation and resilience. As we engage with younger generations like Gen Z and Generation Alpha, they often start from a more pessimistic base due to climate change and financial instability concerns. These generations need extra coaching to shift their perspective and embrace a more optimistic mindset, and that’s where Magnetic Optimism comes in—helping leaders of all ages elevate their vision and potential. We are excited to offer your organisation "Magnetic Optimism: Leadership, Resilience & Innovation", led by Victor Perton and The Centre for Optimism. This workshop transforms leadership, inspiring resilience and innovation across the board. #optimism #leadership #resilience #innovation #workshop

"Life is never free from stress, but positive thinking can help manage it," said Dr. Ruhi Khalid, Director of the Institute of Applied Psychology at Beaconhouse National University (BNU), during a keynote address. She emphasised Positive Psychology, focusing on human strengths, #optimism, and wellbeing, rather than pathology. She shared practical steps to foster a positive mindset, encouraging participants to focus on uplifting thoughts, avoid self-critical dialogues, and incorporate #humour and #optimism into their daily lives. https://lnkd.in/gQPENtJA Ros, we reckon you would support the humour idea!

Can optimism enhance physical health? That's what Barbara Gutierrez asked Scott Rogers Scott told her, "Research suggests that approaching life’s events with a more optimistic outlook can enhance physical health, partly due to the release of hormones and neurotransmitters that improve mood and provide protective effects on the body. Additionally, positive emotions associated with optimism may boost the immune system, making the body more resistant to infections, reducing the risk of chronic diseases, and offering protection against anxiety and depression. Importantly—and a source of optimism—optimism can be cultivated through practices such as mindfulness, gratitude, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and spending time with optimistic and supportive people." https://lnkd.in/gQrX5RGC
