PRICE: $67
Negative people are everywhere … including your workplace! The problem is that when negativity goes unchecked, team morale slips, productivity suffers, and people stop working well together. Which means that you need to take action now. In just one content-rich hour, you will get a variety of tools to turn the tide of negativity around before it spreads too far.
Negative people … they never have anything good to say about anything or anyone. They languish around the office. They are victims in a world that is conspiring against them. And they’re always the first to point out why something won’t work. Worst of all, their sour attitudes bring the rest of the workplace down. Unfortunately, when work pressures and changes create feelings of uncertainty, negativity surfaces and the rumor mill runs rampant. But beware!
