What is More Important—The Right Attitudes or The Right Skills?
For years the corporate world has
been asking for people with good
skills and work experience.
However, the rules have changed.
Employers now are focusing on how
they can recruit the right employees,
retain them and motivate them to
achieve their maximum potential.
What is an Attitude?
An attitude is a mental position, a
feeling or an emotional response to
your environment that causes you to
value certain experiences, people
and activities and causes you to
devalue others. It is a passion, a
world view you have that was
formed by genetics and your life
experiences. You see the world
through the window of your
attitude.
Why Learn About Attitudes?
Building a positive attitude toward
yourself and others starts with
understanding your own attitudes
and how they impel you into action.
People often lack the words to
articulate why they do what they do
or why they feel the way they feel.
When applying the principles in this
seminar, individuals will understand
why they make the decisions they
make and why conflicts can arise.
They will see why others view the
world differently and value different
things in life. Attitudes will open an
individual’s eyes to a new
understanding of themselves and the
people around them.
The Six Attitudes
Theoretical—A passion for the
discovery of truth. The aim in
life for a theoretical person is
knowledge for knowledge sake.
Utilitarian—A passion to gain
return on investment of time,
resources and talent.
Aesthetic—A passion to
experience the impressions of the
world and achieve form and
harmony and balance in all areas
of like.
Social—A passion to eliminate
hate and conflict in the world and
to assist others in becoming all
they can be.
Individualistic—A passion to
achieve position and to use that
position to affect and influence
others.
Traditional—A passion to seek
out and pursue the higher
meaning of life and achieve a
system for living.

Participants Workbook
This full color workbook is
designed to enhance the “Your

gives participants practical
illustrations along with areas to take
notes.
Attitudes—The Missing Link
Every organization spends time and
money on training and development.
This seminar will develop
employees’ knowledge about
themselves and how to
communicate with others.
Understanding why people do what
they do opens up a whole new level
of understanding and
communicating. When employees
learn where other employees are
coming from, they begin to see each
others’ behavior from a different
viewpoint. Every employer should
know the “how” and the “why” of
every employee. DISC (How) plus
Attitudes (Why) leads to powerful
communication, understanding and
decision making for your life.
