    March Chapter Meeting and Lunch Presentation with Bonnie Artman on: Abrasive Leaders

    Pending approval for HRCI and SHRM Credits

    As an HR Professional more than likely you have received complaints and reports of negative perceptions about leaders with an overly aggressive, abrasive management style.  Employees have negative perceptions about these managers and it affects their productivity, staff attrition, and possibly bottom line results.  Though the manager may be a top performer and contributor to the company's success, their interpersonal style disengages co-workers and employees and could be tarnishing the good standing of your company brand and reputation.

    Leaders and/or other professionals with an abrasive interpersonal style usually have the best interest of the company in mind and given the opportunity are able to turn their behavior around.  While this type of employee could be labeled as a "bully", this program will differentiate between the terms of "bully" and "abrasive".  You will learn the positive approaches to retaining valuable employees while reducing workplace suffering for your other employees.

    Speaker Biography: From over 25 combined years as a Psychiatric Nurse and Marriage & Family Therapist, Bonnie Artman Fox takes the skills of helping families resolve disharmony and create harmony to workplace relationships that often resemble a family.  Her unique background also includes Addiction's counseling, various clinical and leadership positions in major health care institutions, and trained at the Boss Whisper Institute.  Her programs address how conflict undermines your organizational mission and sabotages staff morale, productivity, and relationships.   She equips you with how to enhance employee engagement and ultimately bottom line results by working through conflict in a way that maintains everyone's dignity.
