SELF-TALK at WORK

ABSTRACT 

We are continually ‘talking’ to ourselves within our minds. I do it, you do it, we all do it! We are often inclined to dismiss this self-talk as being rather unimportant. However, your self-talk will shape your personality, and eventually your behavior. Think about it! Rich believes that you can learn to: maximize your ENLIGHTENED THINKING; avoid your usual STINKING THINKING; and make the BIG DECISION: I will SUCCEED!

Speaker bio:

Rich Sevcik has been a manager for over 30 years, including a VP at HP and EVP at Xilinx. He has mentored numerous people in business, and grown numerous organizations financially. Xilinx was chosen as a “Top 10, Best Place To work” by Fortune magazine for several years. He is currently doing consulting in technology and leadership development.
