Coach Speaks on De-toxing Office Politics

Molly Gordon, a business coach in private practice in Suquamish, is the featured speaker at the June meeting of Associated Women in Computing, June 16th, 6:00 –8:15 PM, at the Executive Inn on Taylor Avenue in Seattle.

Gordon’s Talk, "The Secret Life of Complaints," will demonstrate strategies for defusing charged situations, getting and keeping your bearings when the workplace goes nuts, and becoming a force for healthy and productive communication so you can spend more time doing the work you want to do and less time head banging. Key points include:

• The five reasons (besides covering your behind) why it's smart to care about office politics.
• How to get leverage when you aren’t a natural politician.
• The magic question that will help you choose your battles and cut through political tangles.
• How to transform chronic complaints (your own and others’) into commitment to change.

Gordon is a Master Certified Coach and writer specializing in business and marketing. She is the creator of Authentic Promotion®, a marketing course that has shown hundreds of clients from sole proprietors to a division of NASA how to reconcile conflicts between doing good business and good work. A pioneer in using the Internet to market services, Gordon reaches more than 13,000 people each week via her Web sites and e-zine. She is past president of the Puget Sound Coaches Association, former NW Regional Host for the International Coach Federation, and a frequent presenter at virtual and live coaching events worldwide.
