Dealing with
Negative Attitudes in the Workplace
Featured Speaker: Steve Gilliland, CSP
Many people are
being robbed, but the culprit hasn’t been arrested.
Who is this elusive criminal? Negativism! It is a
thief robbing life of adventure and joy, affecting
every institution of society. Bad attitudes can
cost you plenty in terms of productivity and morale
– because not only do problem employees perform
poorly, they make it tough for everyone else to do
their jobs.
Steve Gilliland will show you how to turn negative
attitudes into positive behaviors and problems into
opportunities. You’ll learn why people have bad
attitudes in the first place and explore ways to
head off conflict and confront people about their
bad attitudes. You’ll also learn powerful new ways
to deal with the by-products of bad attitudes –
resistance to change and personality conflicts.
Tolerating an employee’s negative attitude “as long
as the job gets done” is no longer an acceptable
response. It is time to discover the power of
disarming the bad attitude and the difference it
makes. Armed with information you glean from this
session, you’ll be on your way to finding win-win
solutions that will have you and your colleagues
working effectively – together.
Registration and
continental breakfast will begin promptly at 8:30.
Registrations
must be received by Fri. April 11, 2008.

April Disability and Racism workshop
The Southwestern Center for Independent Living and the Office of
Cultural Diversity at Southwest Minnesota State University have been
working with people from diverse cultures and people with disabilities
in southwest Minnesota respectively for a combined 30 plus years.
Throughout this time we have learned that there are numerous challenges
faced by people from diverse cultures and people with disabilities in
accessing services in our social and economic structures while striving
to achieve an independent lifestyle that is respectful of culture and
diversity. This conference is brought to our community to provide
education about the challenges faced. This years presenters will offer
personal and professional views of systemic barriers experienced in
their lives. Striking thought provoking parallels between disability and
racism issues will be talked about. The views presented will come from
local, national and historical perspectives.
