The average manager spends between 30-50% of their time grappling with the fallout of mistrust and lack of cohesiveness.  In a recent Gallup poll, nearly 70% of employees report they are disengaged from work.  Conflict in the workplace impacts productivity, worker effectiveness, and ultimately customer satisfaction and the bottom line.  

Fortunately, there are proven strategies to resist and reverse these discouraging trends.

The Performance Excellence Network is pleased to welcome Anna Maravelas to our next breakfast forum: “Self-Defeating Habits of Otherwise Brilliant People” on Wednesday, June 10 at St. Paul College.  The discussion will be simulcast to Southeast Minnesota and also offered through livestream for all PEN members.

Anna Maravelas is the President of Thera Rising (Thera is Greek, meaning “to heal”) and the author of “How to Reduce Workplace Conflict and Stress” (Career Press), now in its ninth printing. .An expert in workplace conflict resolution and a devotee of Deming, Maravelas will provide an overview of how to create emotionally resilient teams, avoid risk factors for heart disease and depression, eliminate five root causes of simmering hostilities, and maintain your integrity by sidestepping invitations to blame.

The breakfast meeting is a preview for her full-day workshop, which will be offered twice: August 4 (Rochester) August 11 (Twin Cities).

Join Anna on June 10th at St. Paul College, room L4310.  Directions will be provided in the email confirmation.  Networking is from 7:30 to 8:00am with the presentation from 8:00 to 9:00.  To register, email [email protected]. No cost for members; $30.00 for non-members.

This breakfast meeting will also be offered through a livestream.  Please let us know at the time of registration if you plan to attend in person (St. Paul or Rochester) or via livestream.
