TRG Talk: Talent Management - The Power of Positive Thinking

On May 30th, following the success of "Leading Yourself" series of knowledge sharing seminars, TRG International held the TRG Talk - Talent Management with the topic "Positive Thinking - Transforming Individuals for Business Success". With the presentation of Mr. Tran Do Dang Khoa - Business Development Manager of Talent Development, TRG International, attendees had gained a lot of useful knowledge of how to become a positive leader and the impact of positivity on the business.

Why do we need to think positively and how to do it?

TRG Talk - Talent Management: the Power of Positive Thinking

Firstly, we need to understand "Why do we need positive thinking?". The answer for this question can be explained by Jack Canfield’s written formula, which was mentioned in his book “The Success Principles”:

E + R = O

(E: Event, R: Response, O: Outcome)

R is directly proportional to O, for example, if we respond positively to the events happening in our lives, the results will be equally remarkable. Thus, positive thinking is a necessary element to help us to do that.

The second question we should think about is “How do we build positive thinking?”. For this question, Mr. Khoa shared some of his personal tips:

Step 1: Choose to live positively
Step 2: Be aware of the negativity and block it
Step 3: Find the positivity

For individuals, you can find positivity in every single simple thing you do every day, such as: improving and re-organising your outlook/mailbox, having a healthy lifestyle by doing exercises or eating healthy food, feeding your mind with happy memories and visualising your success, making time to relax, rewarding your efforts, connecting to positive people, reading inspirational books, joining inspirational events & social groups, etc.

For businesses, positive thinking plays a critical role because it can directly affect the company's performance and growth. In order to create a positive workplace environment, business owners and managers can:

Make positive thinking the foundation for your business mindset
Attract positive people
Keep the momentum
Amplify the positive thinking

Mr. Khoa also emphasised that positive thinking goes a long way in attracting people with positive approach. When you, as a leader, are positive in your approach, people will automatically look up to you for inspiration. A negative frame of mind can easily lead to loss of productivity, with people become more focused on staying in their comfort zone rather than focusing on going beyond their 100%. This is where the power of positive mind actually of great help.

The seminar closed with the sharing from participants about the actions their company has taken to endorse positive thinking and how they plan to embrace it more after this sharing.
