Description
I don't know about you, but for me the last several years have felt hard. Actually, harder than hard. They've felt:

Frustrating
Overwhelming
Isolating
Terrifying
And even hopeless, at times.
And chances are, you've been riding the waves of ups and downs, wondering if things were going to slow down, get easier, or let up for a bit. You know, so we can all catch our collective breath, right?

What I've found is that things aren't necessarily changing, so I am the one who needs to change.

And just who am I?

I am Deborah Grayson Riegel, a lifelong anxiety sufferer who tends towards pessimism rather than optimism, and can always come up with a reason why something could get worse.Â (I sound like I'd be a lot of fun at parties, huh?)

I am also an executive coach, keynote speaker, bestselling author, Harvard Business Review columnist, and instructor at top business schools ranging from Wharton and Duke to Columbia and Peking University.

For much of my personal life, I wrestled with negative thinking, while in my professional life, I helped tens of thousands of my clients change their mindsets, behaviors, approaches, and practices to:

identify what's working well
improve their self-talk
get energy-sucking tasks off their plates
stop complaining and start making effective requests
help other people while helping themselves
lean into hopeful mindsets
leverage gratitude
...and so much more.
And that's when I realized that positivity isn't something you're born with; it's a series of small, meaningful, manageable practices that anyone (including myself) can learn to use.
This course is for you if you want more energy, more joy, more peace of mind, and more compassion (especially towards yourself). It's also for you if positivity comes naturally to you and you want to grow it OR if positivity feels like a far-off dream, and you want to try it anyway.
Because what do you have to lose other than a lot of negativity, frustration, and unnecessary baggage?
With positivity,
Deb

I have also served as a Visiting Professor of Executive Communications at the Beijing International MBA Program at Peking University, China, where I prepared senior leaders from around the world to communicate more effectively in a growing global marketplace.As a regular columnist on leadership and communication for Harvard Business Review, Inc., Psychology Today, Fast Company and more, I focus on sharing practical, research-based approaches to common workplace challenges.I consult for companies including Amazon, BlackRock, Bloomberg, KraftHeinz, PepsiCo, and The United States Army. I combine my background in cognitive and social psychology, leadership coaching, presentation skills, appreciative inquiry, and, perhaps most importantly, improvisational and stand-up comedy, to help leaders and teams think on their feet and make thoughtful decisions about their impact. I believe that the most successful leaders are those who balance professional credibility with personal authenticity, combining their deep expertise with transparency about where they need to grow.I am the mom of twins Jake and Sophie, the wife of a fellow leadership coach, Michael, and the favorite human of our rescue dog Nash.
