Sylvia
Lafair, Ph.D. is President of Creative Energy Options, Inc. (CEO), a
global consulting company that targets and transforms workplace
patterns for success. 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 listed as one of
the top 20 books 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.
As
a keynote speaker, workshop leader and webinar presenter, Sylvia
engages audiences with her natural storytelling ability. She weaves her
knowledge about personal relationships and business culture into easily
understood messages, using both humor and suspense that leave audiences
with information to take back to the office and immediately put into
practice. Dr. Lafair has been quoted in Time.com, Fortune, Forbes, The
New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal and has been a guest on
various television and radio programs. Her new book, “GUTSY: How Women
Leaders Make Change,” was released in June 2012. She is presently
working on a book about diversity in the workplace titled “Different:
How Dynamic Leaders Drive Diversity at Work”.
As
a noted authority on leadership, an award winning author, and executive
coach, her message is unique and timely; her insights universal and
relevant. Office drama and politics, human resource issues, absenteeism,
and litigation often increase when stress is high in companies. This is
where Dr. Lafair’s unique model becomes vitally important as she
teaches managers and teams how to transform ingrained patterns that get
in the way of effective collaboration and organizational productivity. Listen to Dr. Sylvia Lafair Replay
