Watch what happens Meet Dave...
Is this ethical ?
people deliver projects I’m sure I’ll do very well, I’m not an idiot
Old Misery Face!
Don’t get drawn into that !
Deep breath !...Simply smile sweetly and move on.
I know how she’s getting on with it.
She hates it !
Everything’s a major problem with HER!
Oh no! Did I just invite her to ask me about it ?.
I DON’T KNOW all the answers
arrrggghhh!
Don’t get drawn in to all the negativity – keep it positive!
I know – I’ll reassure her
NO! I need you to WORRY about it or it won’t happen!
Now she can’t argue with that can she !?
YES SHE CAN!!!
To stir up trouble in the team !!
...and she’s been allowed to get away with her negative behaviour all that time. It’s a disgrace
Time to put into practice everything I learnt on the “ Engaging with Impact ” On-line training I took
C’mon Jack... Shoulders back. Keep eye contact. Calm reassuring voice.
That sounded good
Didn’t it !! ???
NO O O O O !
And you still look negative!
Ah – she looks like she’s going to hit me ‘right here’
Well that went better than I expected !
How did Dave do? ?
This time please help him Back to Dave...
