Changing Negative Workplace Behaviors
Dealing with the Impossible Person at Work
Dealing With Difficult Volunteers
February 21, 2011- Lexington, KY

Every work group has a person that seems to chafe and
irritate others on the team. We feel
powerless and wish the other person would change. It may be that it is our job to make it change. We feel everything from wanting to help the
other person to wanting to eliminate him from the workspace and our lives.
Being with him or her starts to feel like work. Sometimes it is a professional colleague, or
a fellow board member or volunteer.
Finally, help is
at hand.
Before you fire the volunteer or employee, experience this workshop
where we explore the process for identifying what we can do to create peace in
the workplace.
We look at
motivation and the reasons people do what they do.
We examine the
steps that lead to a “Liberating Conversation” which includes the Dragnet
Effect: identifying exactly the
irritating behavior and learning how to describe it.
Then we define
what we want to say and why we avoid it.
We then
put into action the process of identifying and discussing the issues with the
other person. We practice listening and
we practice the conversation. We do it
more than once, with more than one person, so that each participant leaves with
experience and a plan.
This
workshop is my passion I have lived this myself in both sides of the
conversation and I bring humor and compassion to my instruction. This workshop is hands on, involving, and practice, practice, practice.
