My greatest professional accomplishment of the year: I got my exec & manager teammates saying "point positive," a term from whitewater rafting and kayaking.
Meaning: when facing hazards, point people toward where to go/what to do, rather than drawing attention to everything to avoid.
@eanakashima I did a skid course some years ago and the first and foremost thing they tell you is "never look at obstacles, instead look at where you want to go".
It's honestly kind of magical, but if you just keep your eyes focused on where it's safe to be, then you're most likely to end up exactly there.
