Addressing Problematic Employee Behavior with Insights from Neuroscience
The Californer/10120665

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- Robert Goldmann, business coach and author of the self-management handbook, Act From Choice, and Steve McElfresh, founder and principal of HR Futures, will conduct an online roundtable discussion sponsored by SHRM Northern California (Society for Human Resource Management), on Wednesday, February 17 from noon to 2 pm, Pacific Time.

McElfresh and Goldmann will present the specific skills HR professionals can use to better manage interventions to change unacceptable workplace behaviors. They'll navigate a case study describing a successful intervention that resulted in a key employee permanently changing his bullying behavior after a few brief sessions using The Act from Choice Method: a set of tools designed to help people change unwanted behavior, and improving their relationships and performance at work and elsewhere.

In his coaching and mentoring practice (Clarity and Performance Coaching, now in its 19th year), Robert Goldmann works with executives, business owners, professionals and others seeking to design and reach fulfilling business and personal goals. He is a former CEO of manufacturing and financial service companies, and a facilitator of groups dealing with life-threatening illness and bereavement, as well as a meditation instructor. He is the author of Act from Choice, on which this talk is based. He is a graduate of MIT and Harvard Business School.
