Workshop Proposal
Strategies for Navigating a Challenging Work Environment
A powerful approach to managing difficult and dysfunctional situations.
Abstract
Have you encountered challenges in your workplace? At some point in your career, it’s very likely you will. And when it does, you’ll see the signs - manipulation, bullying, yelling, micromanagement, lack of productivity, lack of trust, high-stress levels, infighting, and discrimination. But what can you do about it? How can you make your workplace more transparent, nurturing, and inclusive, and open the conversation around managing difficult situations to everyone?
In this presentation, I share several demonstrative strategies to reframe these difficult situations and improve the workplace environment, so everyone can feel psychologically safe. Discover techniques and supportive solutions to help you (and others) become “unstuck”, and move your culture forward to success.
