Solving Behavioral Problems in the Workplace

I have 20-plus years of experience both working in and consulting to organizations. I've worked with business owners, executives, managers and HR professionals in small businesses, large corporations, non-profits and academic institutions. These are some of the "people issues" and behavioral problems I've helped resolve:

  • Anger or hostility
  • Communication problems
  • Co-worker conflicts
  • "Difficult" people
  • Death of an employee
  • Stress and burnout
  • Substance abuse
  • Traumatic incidents

Anger Management

Unmanaged anger can be a major liability for any organization. Angry people damage personal and professional relationships, are less effective at problem-solving, and cause worry about workplace violence. Concerned about an anger issue in your organization? I can help to:

  • Teach your managers and staff how to deal with angry customers or co-workers
  • Evaluate the threat potential of angry or hostile individuals
  • Provide anger management classes or individual coaching


Conflict Resolution and Dealing with Difficult People

Does it seem like you spend all of your time either dealing with conflict or trying to avoid it? Conflict, like change, is inevitable, but most people lack the skills for handling it effectively. Your organization may benefit from:

  • Training on managing conflict and/or dealing with difficult people
  • Direct intervention with a specific work group
  • Individual coaching to resolve conflict and improve communication


Substance Abuse

One person with a drug or alcohol problem can affect many others in the workplace, including managers, coworkers, and customers. Efforts to address the problem often fail due to lack of understanding of the dynamics of addiction, denial and co-dependency.

My three-step process results in timely identification and effective intervention as well as prevention of substance abuse and other addictive behaviors in the workplace.

I am a qualified Substance Abuse Professional, who will evaluate, refer for treatment, and monitor any employee in a safety-sensitive job who has tested positive for alcohol or drugs.


Stress Management and Resilience

After the re-org, downsizing, a new management team - then what? In today's workplace, sometimes the only constant is change. This accelerated pace can cause stress, and we know that unmanaged stress leads to interpersonal conflicts, lowered productivity, and increased medical claims.

Through employee seminars, management consultation, and/or individual coaching, I can help your organization to become more resilient and your employees to thrive, not simply survive!
