Don't Bring It To Work Breaking The Family Patterns

Don't Bring It To Work: Breaking The Family Patterns that Limit Success with Sylvia Lafair is our guest on The Core Business Show with Tim Jacquet. Sylvia Lafair, Ph.D. is President of Creative Energy Options, Inc. (CEOinc.), a global consulting company that encourages employees and executives to create new behavior patterns for success by developing healthy and sustainable relationships in the workplace.

Dr. Lafair’s programs and executive coaching impact individuals and teams to decrease conflict and increase productivity. Her award winning book, “Don’t Bring It to Work” 2009 (Jossey-Bass), is among the top 20 for emerging leaders. Lafair's research shows that, much as we like to believe that our behavior is entirely rational and governed by our conscious mind, our thoughts and actions are often driven by the roles we learned in our families as children. And under pressure, we tend to revert to old patterns, often creating workplace drama that diverts attention from the business and undermines productivity.
