Harnessing the power of attitude.
Take two job candidates. On paper their qualifications are similar, but during the interview one stands head and shoulders above the other. The reason? Her attitude.
Michele Hoskins, director of student development at Chandler-Gilbert Community College AZ, highlighted the power of attitude at a conference sponsored by the National Institute for Leadership Development (NILD) and the American Association for Women in Community Colleges (AAWCC) in Phoenix in June.
Attitude, she said, is the reflection of the true self, an outlook based on past experiences, more honest and consistent than our words. Attitude can be our best friend or our worst enemy. It can draw people in or repel them. "How many people have the wrong perspective of you, and you of them?" Hoskins asked, calling attitude "the librarian of our past, the speaker of our present and the prophet of our future."
The impact of attitude
Still wondering about the impact of attitude?
* Author James Allen notes that you are today where your thoughts have brought you, and you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. A positive attitude will help you focus on the opportunities that present themselves and open you to take advantage of them.
* What really matters is what happens in us, not to us. Even a negative experience can teach wisdom.
