In this episode, I unpack the dangerous idea that your diet is "working" just because your weight is going down. Because if it only works when you're 100% perfect — then it doesn't work.Here's what we cover:Why losing weight is only part of the process — not the goalHow Slimming World & similar diets train you to be a lifetime customerWhy “on plan/off plan” thinking is holding you backWhat real progress looks like (hint: it's not weekly weigh-ins)The true goal of weight loss: never needing to lose it againHow I helped a client lose weight on holiday without trackingWhy regaining weight — not losing it — is most people's biggest problemThe mindset shift that can finally break the yo-yo cycleIf your plan only works when you're following it perfectly, that's not success — that's a trap. Let's talk about what real weight loss success looks like (and why most diets don't get you there).Send me your question or feedback

I was having a recent conversation with a listener about calculating calories and macros. We were chatting about her dilemma with frequent dieting, calorie limitations, and macro calculations, and she was feeling pretty discouraged.While I love that there are plenty of tools and programs to help with this, it can be overwhelming and confusing to navigate. It's also never going to be something that is 100% spot on for you and YOUR goals! I think using a solid calories & macros calculator can be super beneficial (you can check out the one I recommend here).But…this tool isn't going to *magically* help you lose weight and create new habits!

If your body is super reactive… even the tiniest change can set off awful symptoms – then you should consider the spectrum of mast cell activation diseases.What most people find enjoyable, like healthy foods, exercise, or even sunlight, can make some feel horrible. Often these symptoms are beyond just “histamine intolerance symptoms.”And while others around you might think you're just “being dramatic” or “making a mountain out of a molehill,” it's clear to you that your body is extremely more reactive than others.It can be hard to get a clear diagnosis and help if you are struggling with mast cell activation diseases – including those with hypermobility syndrome issues like Ehlers-Danlos.If your life feels like you're constantly navigating a minefield of unexpected symptoms to the smallest things, I'm joined by Michelle Shapiro, RD, to talk about what causes you to have a “highly sensitive body.”Michelle Shapiro, RD is an Integrative/Functional Registered Dietitian in NYC who has helped over 1000+ clients reverse their anxiety, heal long-standing gut and immune issues, and approach their weight in a loving way. Michelle has a virtual private practice of 5 nutritionists where she and her team work one-on-one towards these goals. She is the host of the Quiet the Diet Podcast, where she helps listeners bridge the gap between body positivity and functional nutrition.If you've been searching for answers about your own body's unpredictable reactions or want to better understand these complex conditions, let's dive in!In This Episode:What's a “highly sensitive body” problem (that you'll be stuck with forever)?The role of mast cells as “guards” of your immune systemHistamine intolerance symptoms (and why a histamine intolerance diet doesn't help long-term)Histamine intolerance versus Mast Cell Activation DiseasesThe surprising link between MCAS, POTS, and hypermobility syndromeWhy POTS isn't a heart problemThe long COVID–histamine intolerance connectionPractical tips for managing symptoms histamine intolerance symptomsQuotes“Highly sensitive bodies often react in ways we don't expect—things that are supposed to be good for you, like healthy foods or exercise, can make you feel worse.”“Histamine issues don't just cause rashes or itchy skin; they can trigger severe insomnia, anxiety, and even psychosis.”LinksFind Michelle online | InstagramMichelle's podcast, Quiet the DietMichelle's Highly Sensitive Body Hub WaitlistHealthy Skin Show ep. 319: Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: What is MCAS + Why It's So DevastatingHealthy Skin Show ep. 166: Mold + Histamine ConnectionReady to figure out your skin's root causes so you can finally fix your skin + break free from meds to manage your skin?My virtual clinic works with adults worldwide struggling with eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, urticaria, hives, dandruff, perioral dermatitis + more.Trusted by over 1000 clients, we get results WITHOUT restrictive elimination diets.Schedule an assessment call at https://skinrepaircall.com/

“The first solution isn't always the best one—make sure you're solving the right problem.”In this episode of Lead with Culture, Tony Ferraro, Director of Coaching at Floyd, joins Kate Volman to explore why leaders and teams often focus on the wrong problems. Too often, instead of uncovering the root cause, they jump straight to solutions that may not address the real issue. So, how can we break this cycle? By asking better questions, challenging assumptions, and avoiding the trap of first-option bias.In this episode, you'll discover:How to determine if you're solving the right problemThe hidden dangers of defaulting to the first solutionWhy asking “What else could the problem be?” can transform your approachInvest in a coach to achieve your dream: https://www.floydcoaching.com/Things to listen for:(00:00) Intro(01:15) Why most leaders solve the wrong problems(03:45) The ESPN commercial that perfectly explains this issue(07:10) The mistake of assuming the first answer is right(12:20) How great coaches help leaders find the real problem(16:45) The role of process vs. outcome in problem-solving(20:30) Why constraints lead to better solutionsDiscover how to implement The Dream Manager Program:https://www.thedreammanager.com/Invest in a coach to achieve your dreams: https://www.floydcoaching.com/Resources:Floyd CoachingThe Culture AssessmentMatthew Kelly's BooksFloyd Coaching's BlogConnect with the Guest:Tony Ferraro's LinkedInConnect with the Host & Floyd Coaching:Kate Volman's LinkedInFloyd Coaching on LinkedInFloyd Consulting on FacebookFloyd Consulting on TwitterFloyd Consulting on YouTubeFloyd Consulting on Instagram

An exploration of the ongoing debate surrounding professional doubles and its future. In this episode, I directly address the recent comments about doubles from Andy Roddick and Jon Wertheim on the Served Podcast, ignited by Reilly Opelka. I also created a separate video addressing the issue (see links in show notes below).I believe one of the problems we face is that there has been an echo chamber culture around the doubles debate. We need people with different opinions to come together for conversations that create change. While I haven't been able to get Andy, Jon, or Reilly on the podcast yet, I thought this was the next best thing.Here's what I attempt to cover.Where I agree and disagree with Andy & JonWhy doubles does have a "user education" problemThe "business case" for doubles specialistsWhy other sports like professional driving or golf can helpThe economics of doubles at the majors vs 250's & 500's (a topic I'm still trying to understand)My vision for a future doubles tourI hope this episode helps keep the conversation going and creates positive change for tennis. I certainly don't have all the answers, but if we can have productive debates and explore solutions tennis will benefit.Show Notes:Opelka's Initial Comments on InstagramAndy & Jon's Reaction on the Served Podcast (minute 25)My 7-minute Video on how a consulting firm might view doubles-----**Join the #1 Doubles Strategy Newsletter for Club Tennis Players** New doubles strategy lessons weekly straight to your inbox**Become a Tennis Tribe Member**Tennis Tribe Members get access to premium video lessons, a monthly member-only webinar, doubles strategy Ebooks & Courses, exclusive discounts on tennis gear, and more.Learn More & Sign Up Here**Other Free Doubles Content**Serve Strategy CheatsheetReturn Strategy CheatsheetServe Strategy 101 - Video Course

What is COF 999?UC Berkeley chemistry professor Dr. Omar Yaghi recently led a study which has the potential to be revolutionary in reducing the quantity of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere. “Covalent organic framework number 999,” or COF 999, is a yellow, powder-like material that has billions of tiny holes. Inside of these holes, researchers in Dr. Yaghi's lab have installed molecular units that can seek out carbon dioxide, enabling the substance to suck in and capture the carbon dioxide. COF 999 has a huge capacity for absorbing emissions; half a pound of the powder can absorb as much carbon dioxide as a tree captures in a year.The carbon dioxide problemThe quantity of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached an all-time high, with a global average in 2023 of 419.3 parts per million. This immense amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere comes from a number of human sources, the most common of which is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas for energy. Carbon dioxide is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, and contributes significantly to global warming and other environmental issues, including ocean acidification.Applying COF 999 In an interview with Forbes, Dr. Yaghi described the way he sees COF 999 being implemented as a solution. The powder can be made into pellets or a coating, and then integrated into facilities where flue gas –the gas that is released from industrial processes –is released. “This flue gas would pass through the material and because it just plucks out CO2, it cleans CO2 from that flue before it reaches the atmosphere.” According to the San Francisco Standard, Dr. Yaghi says that the powder “requires no energy, shows no signs of degradation even after 100 uses, and is made from inexpensive, commercially available materials.”  Another benefit is that the material only needs to be heated to 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, rather than to 120 like many other traditional materials necessary for carbon capture.In order to see significant change in the atmosphere's carbon dioxide concentration, we will need to couple preventing carbon dioxide emissions with direct air capture, which COF 999 can also do. According to Zihui Zhou, a UC Berkeley graduate student who worked in Dr. Yaghi's lab says, “Currently, the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is more than 420 ppm, but that will increase to maybe 500 or 550 before we fully develop and employ flue gas capture. So if we want to decrease the concentration and go back to maybe 400 or 300 ppm, we have to use direct air capture.” It will take time, however, for scientists to be able to use COF 999 effectively. This is because the powder has not been tested in real-life scenarios, and therefore the costs and risks from the powder are largely unknown; for example, the powder might restrict air flow through filters when applied, reducing the practicality of the powder.  About our guestDr. Omar Yaghi is a professor of chemistry at the University of California Berkeley, and the Founding Director of the Berkeley Global Science Institute, whose mission is to build centers of research in developing countries and provide opportunities for young scholars to discover and learn. He is an elected member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences as well as the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. ResourcesClimate.gov: Climate Change: Atmospheric Carbon DioxideForbes: This Powder Could Be A Gamechanger For Capturing CO2The San Francisco Standard: The new solution to climate change?

A conversation that I see happening a lot right now, particularly in the online space, is around the topic of the coaching and consultancy space becoming over-saturated. Although some people in the industry see this as a challenge, I don't see this as a problem at all. The key here is to focus on excellence in your business. If you want to be known for being excellent at what you do and be fully booked because of that, there are two very specific things that you need to focus on. Focus on solving the problemThe first thing is to make sure you are creating exceptional offers that serve and support your ideal client in helping them solve their unique problem. It's all well and good to create an offer that feels inspiring for you, but if it doesn't actually help solve your client's problem, it's not worth your time. The sweet spot is when you create something that serves your client and creatively lights you up at the same time. Prioritise marketingOnce you have an exceptional offer that both serves your client and inspires you, you need to market your offer effectively. It's not enough to be the best in your field -  you need to market yourself as that and share your unique selling proposition with the world.  The 6 Figure Mastermind ToolkitThe combination of meeting your client's needs and marketing yourself as an exceptional person in your field is how you become someone who is fully booked up, sought after and raved about. To help you achieve this, I created the 6 Figure Mastermind Toolkit, a FREE resource to help you create more incredible, scalable freedom for yourself in your business. The toolkit includes: Video: A video guide on the fundamentals of a six-figure mastermind. I share insights and tips on how to create and nurture a successful program.Checklist: A step-by-step checklist to assist you in crafting a standout mastermind experience. Explore key considerations and actions to enhance your program's unique value proposition and client experience.Marketing Prompts: Unlock strategic prompts to effectively promote and sell your mastermind. Discover techniques to showcase your expertise, attract ideal clients, and maximise the impact of your program.If you're someone who has a mastermind or a group program already, or you're considering creating one in 2024, this toolkit is going to be incredibly beneficial for you. Having a mastermind in your business is an incredible way to not only support your clients at a higher level and help them achieve amazing results but also a way that you can create the freedom that you most want in your life and business.For your FREE copy of the 6 Figure Mastermind Toolkit, DM me “Toolkit” on Instagram.Connect with Ellie: Website:         https://www.ellieswift.com/Instagram:     @elliehswiftFacebook Group:     www.facebook.com/groups/shineonsocialellieswift/

EPISODE 282 - Bryan Mitchell - Stay on the Path, Avoid the Shiny Things And The Root of The ProblemThe hardest thing I've ever done is share a piece of my soul with others. It makes me feel vulnerable. Like a thief who just got spotted by the police with his pants down. Can't run away now. Gotta face whatever judgement awaits. That's how I feel when I share my stories. I cringe like a baby tasting a lemon and look at the reader all weird, hoping they want more.While I cringe, eye twitching, neck straining, there's one thing that holds me together and that is the truth. Like me. Love me. Hate me. It's not my decision. The important thing is the olive branch that I've extended. I'm trying to connect with you and honored you're making the effort to hear me out. This is what story telling is. It's who we are. It's how we connect and grow together.If you happen to look up at me while reading and see a ghastly face trembling like Hulk Hogan waking up from a bearhug, just know, I'm happy you gave me the opportunity, pal, and I encourage you to pass along the olive branch to others in your life because we all need to make ourselves vulnerable to be real. We've all written terrible prose. We've all fallen short of Shakespeare. Forgive yourself and others for those wordy sentences and write the good write. Sorry, I can't end with that. Let's simmer it down a little. I have a short story you can read for free if you sign up for my newsletter. It is called No Place Like Home. My debut novel, Infernal Fall, will be out in October of 2022. All subscribers will get updates on that and more. Hope you stick around.

What is maturation? If we all mature, why do we have consistent problems that keep repeating no matter how much we try to change and solve them?I believe we don't get older; we just get taller. Biologically, we mature but retain the blind spots that cloud how we see the world. And as long as those blindspots stay unconscious, they will continue to rob us of the power to create the life we were meant to live.In this episode, I'll share how we as a species can mature into a new way of being and outgrow the blind spots that are coloring our reality. I'll also provide you with practical strategies for recognising and overcoming blind spots that result from past experiences and childhood trauma.What is Covered:Why maturation can be a trigger subjectWays to uncover the blindspots in your lifeHow to grow and evolve beyond your childhood development stagesHow to get a clear sense of who you are as a beingWhat it means to have an unsolvable problemThe blindspots clouding your current realityHow to not get blindsided by your blindspotsLearn to live your life from higher levels of potentialDissolve the blindspots colouring how you see the worldResources: Access your free gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/gift-btc/Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Although I didn't take antithyroid medication when I dealt with Graves disease, some people with hyperthyroidism need them. And while my goal is to help people restore their health so that they no longer need medication, not everyone with hyperthyroidism chooses to or can take a solely natural treatment approach.Unfortunately, many endocrinologists tell hyperthyroidism patients that they can only take methimazole for 18 to 24 months. At that point, if they're not in remission, they'll push them to either get radioactive iodine or thyroid surgery.In most cases, this is an entirely bogus timeline, and if someone is tolerating the medication well, there's no reason they can't take it longer. Today I'm sharing what research studies show about long-term methimazole use so that you can arm yourself with data to show your endocrinologist if they're pressuring you into radioactive iodine treatment or thyroid surgery.In this episode, you'll learn:What research shows about the rate of remission of Graves' hyperthyroidism with long-term administration of low-dose methimazoleWhen long-term methimazole treatment might be appropriate in pediatric Graves' disease The difference in the chances of relapse between long-term and short-term courses of methimazoleWhy I always recommend addressing the root of the problemThe potential for using low-dose methimazole as a lifelong therapeutic modalityAs always, I hope you found this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/how-long-can-i-safely-take-methimazole-for/.

Are you ready to be a part of the Great Resignation? In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Rachel Mangan, a Start Your Private Practice and Grow Your Private Practice student, to talk about how she took the leap during the Great Resignation. After her son's cancer diagnosis, she realized that life is precious, and that if you have a dream, you should go for it. In this episode, she shares how she transitioned from employee to private practice owner, her tips for marketing and systems, overcoming imposter syndrome, and so much more. Rachel Mangan is the co-owner and CEO of Gabriel Therapy Group. An alumnus of the University of Central Florida, Rachel is nationally certified through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association as a Speech Language Pathologist and is licensed in the state of Florida. She also holds her certification through the AG Bell Association for Listening and Spoken Language in Auditory Verbal Therapy.

Rachel's passion for personal and professional growth encourages others to work hard and succeed. Her experience in executive leadership, grant writing and fundraising for non-profit organizations, and the use of coaching strategies help Rachel support the growth of her clients, families, staff, and business.

Too many companies are getting it wrong: they're evangelizing their product, not the problem. When you focus on the problem it solves, you might just revolutionize your approach to the market. Shifting your sales and marketing tactics to address your clients' pain points positions you as an empathetic, human-centered company–and draws in more business. In this episode, I'll discuss how sales teams can translate the excitement for a new product by establishing what problem it solves and figuring out how to evangelize it to prospects.I'll walk through an example of how you can put this technique into practice and what kind of language to use. Join me to learn how to differentiate your company as an expert on the industry, not just your product.You'll Learn:What it means to evangelize the problemThe key role the sales team plays in this effortHow not to “vendorsplain”Examples of how to put this strategy into practiceWhat language to use in a solution-oriented approachSupport the show

So often, hypnosis practitioners fall into the trap of believing that if a technique isn't working for their client, the client must not be motivated to change. But instead of blaming the client for their lack of progress, perhaps we need to try a new approach, modify our hypnosis process, or even take a step back and revert to the basics. There's nothing truly wrong with your client. They're just someone who happens to be going through an issue. We, as hypnosis professionals, simply need to find the methods, strategies, and techniques that are appropriate for them to solve their problem.This week, I dive into the ‘replay vault' of the Hypnotic Worker's community to discuss what you should do when nothing you've tried is working. I share the Hypnotic Solution Formula that I created to help clients disconnect and disassociate themselves from an issue or problem, even when other tried-and-true techniques have failed. I share seven specific Work Smart Strategies to help you become more flexible in your work while troubleshooting issues on the fly. I discuss why client compliance is the key to hypnotic suggestibility and the value of ‘going back to the basics' of hypnotic techniques and strategies to find ones that work best for your clients. I discuss the benefits of leveraging new hypnosis styles and modifying hypnotic processes. I also discuss how isolating and focusing on your client's emotions around an issue can help you effectively create positive change and the importance of following up with your client's hypnosis progress.Join us at our next certification course LIVE and ONLINE at: https://worksmarthypnosislive.com/ “There are no ‘resistant clients.'

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Economic losers: SoGive's review of deworming, and why we're less positive than GiveWell, published by SoGive on August 8, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Primary author: Lucas Lewit-Mendes Secondary authors: Sanjay Joshi, Isobel Phillips, Matt Sharp tl;dr: We (SoGive) estimate that mass deworming is 6-10x more cost-effective than GiveDirectly's cash transfers. This is less cost-effective than GiveWell's estimate of 12-19x, but remains close to, albeit slightly below, their current 10x funding bar. The discrepancy is primarily driven by our conclusion that gains in adult earnings for some dewormed children may be at the expense of other workers (i.e. "economic losers"). Red-Teaming GiveWell's Recommendation of Mass Deworming We (SoGive) have been conducting red-teaming of some of GiveWell's recommended top charities, starting with mass deworming programmes. Much has been written on deworming, from a landmark trial in Kenya, to the infamous "worm wars", to an apparently encouraging 20-year follow-up study. GiveWell moved around $40 million to support mass deworming programmes in the year to June 2022. After ~200 hours of research, we hope to shed some light on some relatively unexplored aspects of the mass deworming conversation. Our major update is that we now expect deworming to have less chance of huge economic impact, because competition between workers in the labour market may result in "economic losers". Alongside other small updates, this reduces cost-effectiveness to 6-10x GiveDirectly's cash transfers (varying by charity), down from GiveWell's estimate of 12-19x. We would like to express our gratitude to GiveWell for their correspondence throughout the research process. This post will highlight our key findings from our full intervention report, covering the following topics: Table 1 #SectionOne-sentence summaryIntroductory content1Statistical significanceThe notably large effects on earnings and consumption from the Busia experiment are not statistically significant, but GiveWell sufficiently accounts for this uncertainty. 2Black box problemThe causal mechanism between deworming and long-run earnings gains is a "black box". SoGive differs from GiveWell on economic losers3Economic losersGains in adult earnings for some dewormed children may be at the expense of other workers (i.e. economic losers). SoGive believes it is important to give careful consideration to health effects4Direct health effectsThe direct health effects of mass deworming appear to be small on average. 5ComorbiditiesHealth effects are especially uncertain in the presence of comorbidities. 6Drug resistanceGiveWell accounts for the possibility that drug resistance could develop, but we are somewhat more pessimistic about this risk. Despite the significant amount of effort already expended, our work on deworming is not complete. We remain excited to continue exploring some of the other areas that we outline towards the end of this post, including unprogrammed deworming (i.e. how much deworming would happen anyway without mass deworming programmes), the implications of climate change for deworming, and more on the health aspects of deworming. Background on Mass Deworming GiveWell-recommended mass deworming programmes currently operate in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, treating children with two types of parasitic worm infections - schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH). The scale of infections is enormous. Around 200 million people have schistosomiasis, while around 1.5 billion have STH. The health effects of worm infections can be severe in rare cases, including organ damage, intestinal inflammation, intestinal obstruction, and impairment of nutrient intake. But since worm infections often coexist with other morbidities, precise data on how often worm infections cau...

Today, I'm talking about how to manage difficult employees. My sources for this episode include Northeastern University Graduate Programs blog, lumapps.com, and indeed.com  Let's start with the definition of a difficult employee: A difficult employee is a term used to describe a person who acts in a careless, unprofessional, or irresponsible manner in the workplace. Difficult employees may challenge the authority of their leaders, create a negative or disruptive work environment for their peers, or struggle to meet personal performance expectations.  Specific characteristics of a difficult employee may include: Attendance issuesFailure to meet expectationsDistracting others from their workLack of motivation, energy, enthusiasm, or pride in their own workDifficulty accepting accountability for their actionsArgumentative, rude, violent, or disruptive behaviorBehavior that intimidates, threatens, or humiliates othersLack of respect or tolerance for the opinions, skills, or talents of othersDifficulty building positive work relationships or working on a teamTaking part in workplace gossipIgnoring established rules or procedures What are some of the causes? -Professional relationships -Jealousy of the success of others-Issues within their home or family-Physical or mental health concerns-Stress resulting from a heavy workload-Poor work-life balance Difficult employees often have the potential to be valuable contributors to an organization. The actions and behaviors of these employees also impact the culture and morale of the overall workplace. It is important to understand that difficult employees often are not intentionally being difficult, but instead are responding to challenges in their personal or professional lives that are impacting their ability to perform or behave appropriately. I think it is easy to get into a victim/villain mode with a difficult employee – thinking that they are intentionally doing the things they are doing to “get you” as the boss. This type of thinking puts you as the supervisor in a helpless, disempowering position with the difficult employee having power over you.  So, how do we manage difficult employees?  1.    Acknowledge and identify the problemThe first step is an acknowledgment that there is a problem - and identifying exactly what the problem is. Documentation helps here, along with specific examples of each issue.  2.    Find the positivesAlthough sometimes we may find this difficult, it is important to identify the employee's positive characteristics. By identifying several positive traits or achievements to discuss with the employee along with your concerns, you minimize the risk that the meeting will become confrontational and unproductive. The employee will likely respond better when they feel their value is being recognized.  3.    Ask for the employee's feedbackGet the employee's feedback about their performance, behavior, and concerns. Begin by asking the employee if they are aware of how their performance or behavior is impacting the company. Then ask them if there are any concerns they have or if there is anything they want to discuss. Listen closely to what the employee has to say. Your primary goal for the meeting is to discover the root causes of the issues with your employee's performance or behavior, and to find solutions you can work on together.  4.    Create an action plan and document itThe next step is to work with the employee to create an action plan to address the concerns. Make sure your expectations, the process for measuring progress, and the consequences for failing to meet expectations are clearly laid out. Identify the specific actions they need to take to help them achieve their goals and identify any tools or resources they will need for success. Establish appropriate time frames for completing each section of the action plan. Finally, be sure to document everything in writing and provide the employee with a copy.  5.    Follow up consistentlyMonitor the employee's progress throughout the given timeframe. Establish a schedule for check-ins with the employee to discuss progress and provide additional progress. Recognize progress of goal achievement and address any areas in which they are struggling.  With these steps, you can maximize the chances of turning around the difficult employee so they can:-Understand how their behavior or performance impacts the organization-Overcome the personal or professional circumstances that are affecting their behavior or contributing to their performance issues-Build positive work relationships with their managers and colleagues-Make adjustments to their behavior that helps create a positive work environment-Improve their work performance and achieve their maximum potential and greater job satisfaction  Are you in the wrong job that chips away at you every day?
