Learning at Work Day "ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING" with Michael Ogilvie
Personal Statement:
When I walked into the Pentlow Dining Room at the end of a busy afternoon, I had no idea that within the next hour my old pattern of negative thinking would be challenged and totally turned upside down.
I have attended many "self-help" workshops in the past and wasn't expecting to learn anything new by this brief (30 minute) workshop. However, Michael was an entertaining and enthusiastic speaker. He asked us to look at someone successful, who we admire, and list their qualities (confidence, self believe etc.) We then talked about what got in the way of us reaching our goals (i.e. fear of failure, criticism.)
When Michael asked for a volunteer of break a piece of wood, 2 cm thick, with nothing more than the force of a bare hand I knew I had to do it. First of all, Jeanette our Pentlow Training Manager demonstrated how it should be done. Michael asked me to write my goal on the wood, as a positive affirmation that by breaking the wood I can break through my challenge to success. However, as I went to the front of the room my old habits came flooding back - "I can't do it, I'm looking stupid, everyone's going to laugh at me". After two attempts I nearly bottled out completely but Michael was calm and encouraging. I knew he'd seen many people do it and he knew that I could. "You just need a bit more zip!" he said. I squeezed Jeanette's hand for support, had a drink of water, closed my eyes, took three deep breaths and 1, 2, 3, whack, crack and I'd done it!
I was rather overcome, not only because I broke through the wood but because I had so publicly committed myself to a new course of action to make my goal a reality. I know that by making such a bold statement I am already halfway to making it happen and can remember that if I start to go off track. When the old "I can't do it" thoughts come up I have my piece of wood as evidence that I CAN!
At the end of the session I was surprised to hear Michael was an Accountant. His "Attitude for Success" is catching - I think he should be working in the field of teaching others how to overcome their fears and reach for the stars. With his support and a positive attitude then anything is possible.

Jeanette - Pentlow Training Centre Ltd Dear Michael,
Thank you for your impressive demonstration, convincing people that they can do anything if they've got attitude!
As I said, you should invite the people who attend the breakfast meetings to do the same. The girl you worked with, really went through a complete learning process and came in today, to say how much you have helped her.
Thank you again.
Kind regards
Jeanette
P.S. Maybe I should try a thicker bit of wood - or even walk on hot coals. I have always learned when attending your sessions.

MRS D J MORRIS - DJM FINANCIAL SERVICES Just a short note to say how much I enjoyed your presentation at the CIMA members in practice conference. This was my first attendance having only been self employed for eighteen month.
The whole conference was extremely informative and interesting. However, I would have to say that both your debate and also the Gordon Gilchrist presentation proved for me personally, to be the most inspiring - so thank you for this.
I came away with lots of new ideas and I found it very useful to talk to other members in practice and hear about their own personal experiences.
So once again thanks very much - I hope you will be available to provide further support to this conference in the future.
