Why You Should Join Us

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 is going to surface. And often, the rumor mill runs rampant. Bottom line: when negativity goes unchecked, team morale slips, productivity suffers, and people stop working well together. If you know any negative people and have struggled to work with them, manage them, or live with them, then you cannot afford to miss this content-rich audio conference. In one power-packed hour, Merge will lay it out for you – in clear detail and easy-to-follow steps – who they are, why they are the way they are, and perhaps most importantly, what you can do about it.
