Chamber Business Luncheon Nov 2015
The Portage Area Chamber of Commerce is offering another way to network with your fellow Chamber members and make those important connections that can help you in your business or career. Bring your business cards, brochures, or anything you wish to share with other members.
Luncheon Information
Speaker: Tina Hallis, Ph.D., founder and owner of The Positive Edge.
Topic: Decoding People’s Personal Perspectives - Shifting the Way You Think to be more Positive
We don’t observe the world, we interpret it based on our own personal perspectives. Because we all have different life experiences, different personalities and different outlooks that shape our perspectives, this can make our interactions challenging. What’s more, our brains trigger a “threat” alert when we meet someone with different preferences and priorities than us. Understanding and reminding ourselves that these differences are not bad, but interesting improves our ability to connect, collaborate and communicate with the people around us. This program helps people understand their own personal perspective and how to identify and appreciate those of others.
Time: Lunch at 11:30AM, Presentation at Noon
