You probably know that person on your team, the one who says, “Well, what about this?” or challenges every initiative. While sometimes frustrating, these team members, those with so-called “negative” traits like anxiety or pessimism can help make the entire group stronger. Learn about the positives of negative personality characteristics and how to utilize those traits to the fullest.

This webinar will discuss:

Discuss research about workplaces with these types of traits
Reframing emotions
How negative traits can be a positive and positive ones a blind spot
Having better meetings with naysayers
Team-building ideas
