You will discover innovative secrets to building extraordinary relationships with employees, peers, vendors, customers...or members of your own family. 

Mary Jane Mapes, communication/leadership strategist shares her laugh-out-loud insights with HR professionals who are expected to be a positive influence, even when dealing with PIGs – those Pesky Incessant Gripers, Painfully Intolerable Gasbags, or Pompous Inane Glory-hounds. This session offers new, eye-opening ways to turn around the most resistant, resentful, or reluctant person and get them working with you instead of against you. By the end of this session, you will be able to:

  • Identify three components of a relationship vision that gets you the outcomes you desire.
  • Describe two ways to create an instant connection, even with the most difficult employees.
  • Practice a strategy that allows you to self-manage and choose your behavior, critical for managing conflict.
  • Discover how to keep yourself from infecting the environment with negativity.
  • Learn a powerful strategy to motivate employees to produce at their best – every time.
  • Increase your competence and confidence in dealing with less-than-perfect people (everyone, including yourself)... Resulting in stronger relationships, greater employee retention, and increased productivity and profitability.
