"THE VALUE OF DIVERSITY"
Denise Eaves
Denise Eaves and Associates
You’ve just heard that the new hire, a middle aged woman, who will work very closely with you on the newly appointed task force is a “recovering” alcoholic. What’s your first thought? What do you expect?
High-performing teams thrive on productive conflict. Make sure your team’s focus of attention is serving a broad-base clientele for solid profits, rather than gossip, back-biting and justifying. In this highly competitive global market an atmosphere where “I’ve-got-your-back” rather than “cover-your-own” assures the viability and success of your firm.
In this workshop, participants will:
· Review stereotypes and pre-conceptions
· Identify the impact of non-verbal communication
· Discuss appreciation differences
Denise Eaves, LCSW, CEAP, Peopleside Consulting,
HR/Management Consultation, Organizational Development, Training,
