OPEN Mind OPEN Attitude is a short video designed to help everyone collaborate and work well with each other by having an open mind and attitude. Sometimes being afraid makes us closed or defensive. We need to explore how to be OPEN, so we learn and grow. An OPEN mind and an OPEN attitude allows us to see the bigger picture, to see where things ‘fit’. We become more flexible and more willing to be challenged. We don’t dismiss ideas immediately or shut them down. We are willing to listen to what others say before making a decision. In this video psychologist Eve Ash explains the importance of being OPEN: Optimistic, Patient, Encouraging and Non-resistant.
