Work Relationships Matter (WRM)

Work Relationships Matter (WRM)

Everyone has a story about office politics gone wrong. I want to share stories about people who are getting in right. My introductory show was a monologue in which I explained what I do, who I am, who I help, how I help and why I focus on work relationships (office politics). Subsequent shows will be dialogues featuring guests who will share stories about their backgrounds; including how they got started as well as setbacks, successes and guiding principles that helped them succeed as bosses, employees and entrepreneurs. I am a Certified Life Coach who helps leaders manage office politics the “right way”. Office politics is present in most organizations. Like money or other resources, it is neither good nor bad. What matters is how it is used. My show will provide insights, techniques, and strategies that can be used to enhance work relationships and productivity. I am The Edward Jones, Certified Life Coach who helps leaders manage office politics the “right way”. I am the founder and CEO of ProDestinyCoaching. My book, Office Politics the Right Way: 7 Principles to Create Win-Win Relationships in the Workplace, can be found on Amazon.
