We all wear invisible glasses that color how we see our work: 20 minutes to learn to change them.
A canceled meeting, a comment from your manager, a disappointing AI answer: depending on your mood that day, the same fact becomes a minor detail or a threat. What you perceive decides what you do. This module shows the mechanisms that build your perceptions, and how to direct your attention toward what deserves to grow.
What you’ll take away
- a fresh outlook on your generalizations, from “difficult client” to “AI destroys jobs”
- a compass for AI: not avoiding it, not just skimming it, but engaging fully
- your confidence in the future, built on all you’ve already overcome
Who it’s for
Anyone whose first instinct is to spot what’s wrong and who would like an outlook that helps them move forward.
Learning objectives
- Understand how selection, distortion, and generalization, reinforced by two well-known biases, construct our reality.
- Distinguish a positive outlook from naive positive thinking: seeing a situation’s potential and choosing what to water.
- Make an informed choice about your stance toward AI: refusal, surface-level use, or active engagement.
- Build a positive outlook on yourself from past comebacks, to keep moving without getting stuck, whatever AI changes.
