Training Course Syllabus:
Anger in the office is the enemy of productivity, teamwork, and creativity.
Sometimes it's obvious — a white-hot rage with tempers flaming. Other times it's
more subtle — and potentially more damaging. That's when defensiveness,
cynicism, and negativity creep into the workplace and take over. Before long,
morale plummets, enthusiasm is dampened, and teamwork breaks down.
It doesn't have to be that way.
There are specific steps you can take and proven strategies you can follow to
turn things around quickly. You'll learn these techniques at this seminar. You
will also find out how to recognize the early signs of anger — in yourself and
others — and redirect the energy wasted on it to achieve positive outcomes such
as improved teamwork, increased enthusiasm, and heightened creativity throughout
the workplace.
It's a wise investment of one day that will deliver a solid return throughout
your career — and your life.
