STAFF CAREER DEVELOPMENT

Hats Off to Our 9 to 5 Family !!

Thank you everyone for your enthusiastic
participation at the May 15 workshop
"Working With Your 9 to 5 Family:
Recognizing Your Communication
Patterns" - presented by Harriett Lemer,
Communications Specialist at Einblau &
Associates.

This final workshop in the “Refuelling for
the 21st Century" series focused on helping
us more effectively manage our own
relationships with other people - in
particular, our co-workers. Gaining
awareness of our personal communication
patterns, provides a clarity necessary to
resolve difficult or puzzling relationships we
may encounter in the workplace.

Comments from our "9 to 5 family"......

"everyone was able to participate in a way
that helped us learn more about each other and
how we relate”

"great tools to develop the ability to deal with
people who are different from myself"

“ability to more easily deflect conflict"
"thank you.... this has helped me immensely"

The day began with "What you may not
know about your co-worker?".....and did our
9 to 5 family prove to be a talented,
knowledgeable and interesting group.......
