Keynote Address
Attitude, Relationships, and Humor:
Powerful Forces in Our Lives
Roger Fish
We all know the effect that one negative person can have on an entire group. How can you work with such a person and remain positive? What is the personal force that you bring to your work environment? Do you use your attitude to positively effect your relationships with others? Do you find humor in your job that helps lighten your load? Come hear from Roger Fish about how you can create a positive and fun work environment through your relationships, attitude and the use of humor.
