Imagine that you have recently begun accepted a new position with a company that is cutting edge in
employee development. Since research has shown that optimistic sales teams are considerably more
successful than those that are pessimistic, your role as the “happiness ambassador” for the organization
is to ensure that all employees receive resources that educate and provide resources for maintaining an
optimistic approach. Design a tri-fold brochure that can be distributed to all company employees with the
following information (1 topic per panel)
1.Front (Title –Learned Optimism & “contact information for your organization”)
2.Description of Optimism vs. Pessimism (This should like a simple paragraph or two that informs ‘clients’)
3.Potential causes of developing a pessimistic outlook (Think of this as ‘warning signs’)
4.Suggested technique for creating an optimistic approach to problem solving in life. (Use resources from
the class, particularly the text, to identify a few practical/meaning strategies that anyone could implement)
5.Motivational tips/phrases/illustrations
6.Back (This “flap” is open-ended. You can include any element that you feel would enhance this project.)
7.Make sure that the 6 panels line up correctly if printed off on two sides of a page.
