Fear and toxicity are words that have no place in meetings, our workplace or our lives. We live over half of our lives at work, and we all want to be productive, successful and happy while we are there. Everyone wants to be appreciated and respected for the contributions we make to our jobs, careers, and organizations. Join Heather Newman, Microsoft MVP, and CMO of Content Panda as she talks through the whys of fear-based and toxic workplace behavior and how to combat this negativity with practical examples and guidance. The session will dive into the topics of the lizard brain, impostor syndrome, doubt language, and the CYA email combined with action steps for each one to take back to your teams and organizations. Creating a healthy work environment is up to each one of us and leads to better collaboration and enhanced creativity that empowers everyone to be their best selves and to produce our best work. If you are attending with your co-workers, this is a pivotal session to attend as a group.
