Enhancing Your Performance in the Workplace

Lurking around us, there are a variety of demons that can distract us at work (and at home.)  Any one of them can exert a powerful negative influence, but often, like a squad, they attack in combination.  Don’t let these demons erode the potential of your work life.  Manage the demons so you can increase productivity and decrease stress.

Geraldine Markel, PhD will be sharing her expertise and experience to address this topic in the Monday, April 8 CHADD meeting.  This meeting will be held at Way Elementary located in Bloomfield Township on Long Lake Road just East of Telegraph.  The meeting will begin at 7:30.
