Tactical Tip #1: Engage Everyone

Stimulating conversations exercise your brain and reduce workplace stress! 

• By connecting with others you increase your understanding of the organization.
• No one is confined to their job; you can build on common interests, regardless of where you sit.
• Invite others to share their viewpoints.  Start neutral, listen for cues, avoid too much information.
• Seek out workplace veterans; ask how things have changed over the years.
• Listen.
• Ask open-ended questions.
• Avoid joining cliques; strive to be seen as fair and open.
• Gossip is a killer.  Say "no" to your lower self.  Speculate about celebrities, not co-workers.
