AiA Classic™
30 full hours of high-involvement learning

Discover what over four million people worldwide learned with AiA Classic® (formerly called Adventures in Attitudes ). In 1957 Bob Conklin designed AiA to guide people through life's most important questions.  Today, a classic is re-invented - AiA Classic®.
AiA Classic® has changed lives for 50 years. You too can learn how to change your life...at work...or at home!
Achieving higher levels of personal and professional excellence begins with seeing the possibilities , not just the problems. It means changing our perspective – of ourselves and of others. But changing attitudes is risky. It means leaving where we are and not going back – stepping out of the comfort zone and getting uncomfortable. It requires mental and physical stamina, courage and even some distress.
Most times, it's easier to say no to changing our habits and attitudes than it is to say yes! But saying yes opens up all sorts of new opportunities and possibilities. Say YES and discover the power you already have within yourself … the power to change your attitudes, your habits of thought, your work, your relationships, and your life … for the better!
Why is AiA unique? The process addresses the thoughts and attitudes that generate behavior, action, performance, and results. AiA addresses the cause underlying the problem and creates an opportunity for self-discovery and self-awareness, leading to more effective communication, problem solving, team interaction and individual success.
Coping with the continuous changes of our downsized, right-sized, re-engineered, team-oriented and increasingly diverse workplace has left many of us confused, fearful, suspicious and even angry. As our attitudes deteriorate, so do our commitment, loyalty, and most importantly, performance and self-esteem.
This empowering program has been designed to help people understand that how they perceive and respond to events around them is their choice. Awareness is the first step in changing negative attitudes to positive ones. It's key to establishing personal responsibility and accountability in the midst of change and chaos. And it helps turn passive resistance into high-energy performance.
Everyone a Student, Everyone a Teacher
