If you have ever traveled to Central or South America, you may have come across or heard about the Red Poison Dart Frog. The poison dart frogs brightly colored bodies serve as a warning to us and their predators of their toxicity.

Here in our country, we too are surrounded by poisonous Red Frogs, but they look different. Surprisingly they look a lot like you and me. You see, there are many people in our lives that are poisonous to us. They may be our family members, friends, colleagues, customers and people on social media. Their poison affects our confidence, our belief in ourself and our mental and physical well-being. Their toxicity will harm us, if we let it.

In this interactive and informative program, you’ll discover:

  • 5 Red Frogs that are likely in your life today (and what to do about them)
  • 2 ways to conquer those and your future Red Frogs
  • The Secret That Everybody Knows, But You Don’t Remember to Use: You Have 3 Super Powers!

Andrew Sanderbeck is positive realist. He champions meliorism, the belief that we can contribute to positive change and improve the world and our community, through acts of love, creativity, compassion and kindness. For more than 20 years he has presented at national, state and regional conferences, meetings and retreats worldwide. He is the author of three inspirational books and his latest book, Don’t Eat the Red Frog will be published by this year.

PCI Webinars are recorded and available to members of the Michigan library community in the Library of Michigan's Niche Staff Skills Academy about a week after they air. New webinars will be in the New category for several weeks. You do not need to register for a webinar in order to view it later in the Staff Skills Academy.

This project is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan.
