BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

Optimism and Positivity

Positivity is a word that has come to the fore, not only projecting a can-do attitude but ‘infecting’ others with opportunities and confidence they never realised they could accomplish.

Positivity is a meaningful word, much used in articles, but I am merely presenting my belief in the hidden energy that is within us and how to illuminate a darkened space in our consciousness and subliminally hidden energy.

Being positive when everything seems to go wrong, is challenging, to say the least.

The more doubt entering the mind and heart makes optimism and positivity almost alien ideals.

To be honest, not every individual would be inwardly visited by such positive thoughts resulting in action.

However, negativity and being void of optimism can extend to a low level of as if slowly descending into a pit of darkness.

AND NOW SOME POSITIVITY!

Find a location of calmness away from the everyday stresses of depression and lack of confidence you are experiencing.

Positivity is best created when it is derived from your own heart, rather than relying on other individuals, however genuine they be.

Positivity is self-driven. Positivity comes from the heart. Identify the tiniest element of your life; focus on it. Reveal to yourself what is so good about it; dwell on it and find a link to another positive element. Gradually positivity will potentially advance.  And don’t dwell on the past. Be forward-thinking.

You have achieved positivity.

Any negative thoughts or elements that visit will be dealt with optimistically as you have proved possible.

Positivity and optimism are infectious, projecting energy and empathy. You’ll make a difference as you are the difference.
