Just One Poisoned Apple…Transform Toxic Attitudes and Keep Negativity from Infecting Your Workplace

Pot stirrers. Trouble makers. Office gossips. Every organization’s got at least one (and that’s if they’re lucky!)

It only takes one whiner or one “Debbie Downer” to destroy an entire workforce.

And as tempting as it is to ignore the problem, once negativity has started to infect your team, it’s hard to contain the damage. And the frustration of working with these “difficult” personalities is just the beginning. The damage is usually much more extensive than that.

Negative attitudes and toxic environments can wreak havoc – reducing productivity, damaging morale, destroying company culture, and ultimately increasing turnover (which we all know translates into even more lost revenue)…

Fortunately, you don’t have to let these attitudes and behaviors drag you down. With just a few practical techniques and skills, you can turn troublemakers into productive, positive and valuable employees.

Join us for 60 minutes to learn:

• The drivers of these damaging behaviors and how to get to the bottom of why the employee is acting this way
• The consequences of ignoring the situation and why it’s imperative that you take action
• How to remove your own emotions from the situation and stay calm during a conflict conversation
• Key tools for communicating about, and coaching negative employees
• Techniques to defuse the conflict right at the source
• And much more!
