Here's an interview I wanted share with the positive ABT conspiracy! This was a wonderful interview experience with some excellent questions.

It's truly a great shapshot about what ABT is all about.

Here's a small excerpt:
Asset-based thinking is a choice. Some people think optimists are born, not made. But it's not a personality trait. If you want to be an asset-based thinker, get to know your strengths and capabilities. Oftentimes we know our gaps and our shortcomings a lot better than we know our strengths and our capabilities. I call getting to know your strengths "reducing the blind spot." We do need feedback from others to take an inventory of our talents. When we hear the word "feedback," we all sort of duck and hope it doesn't hit too hard.

But the truth is, asset-based thinkers spend five times more effort and energy knowing what their strengths are and what they have to leverage than they do their gaps. It's a complete reversal of the way we've all been trained through school, when we used to get a grade based on how many items we got wrong. Teachers, coaches, and parents all thought they were doing us a big favor by showing us how we could improve.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

There are so many different things you feel when you break up with someone or someone breaks up with you. But instead of looking at it as a negative or a bad thing, look at all of the positive things that come from it. Here are a few great examples:

The best things about breaking up...

- Getting the closet all to yourself!
- Saying yes when someone asks you out on a date.
- FLIRTING
- Getting back in-touch with yourself

Watch our video on "The Best Things About Breaking Up" and add on to the list!
