Has someone at work ever stabbed you in the back? Do you work with anyone that is envious of you and out to get you? Backstabbing behaviors and envy in the workplace can be toxic and create an environment where people do not want to be.
When employees exhibit behaviors such as spreading rumors, telling lies, taking credit for someone else’s work or ideas, sabotaging coworkers or the company, withholding information, or telling you one thing to your face and then doing something else behind your back, it infects the team and typically impacts other departments as well. This presentation will show you how to put a stop to this before it tears teams apart and damages morale.
The Power of Clear Communication: Connect with Confidence Outside the Courtroom (for Attorneys) Do you and your coworkers ever have trouble communicating with each other?

This Dr. Patty Malone presentation shows you how to communicate clearly, eliminate damaging communication mistakes, and substantially strengthen connections and relationships with your staff and associates beyond the courtroom.
Would you like to get employees on board when making a change in your organization instead of having them fight you every step of the way?

Is conflict interfering with employee job satisfaction, slowing down production, and making the workplace environment unpleasant?

This Dr. Patty Malone presentation shows what steps to take to defuse conflict before it gets out of hand and how to turn destructive conflict into constructive conflict, which strengthens relationships, helps people get along, and improves the working environment.
