Negativity in the Workplace Podcast

Does negativity take over your teams and meetings? Negativity's tentacles quickly smother and suffocate. Anna Farmery, a highly savvy leader, speaker and coach in the UK, wondered how leaders can use brain based strategies to overcome negativity at work. Her curiosity leads to brilliant questions on the Podcast.

Anna told me she's "been given so much" and so she creates Podcasts as a way to "give back." She credits her Dad for much of her wisdom. You'll find her blog, The Engaging Brand, chock full of wisdom and humor, along with stimulating and informative Podcasts. Anna's sharp questions dig deep into negativity's causes, effects at work, physical consequences... and what leaders can do to help turn it around. Here's Anna's introduction...

On today's show we talk about negativity and how it can occur. It is the Part 1 of a 2 part interview and talks about the effect of negativity and starts to talk about how managers can create it within their teams and how they can turn it around.

There's an iPod link to all Anna's podcasts [left side of her blog] and you can listen on-line or subscribe to the show through Blubrry or iTunes ...
