Positivity can be a positive tool to enhance your personal and professional relationships. However, toxic positivity, or extreme optimism, can shut down valid feelings that can hold you back in your personal life and keep teams from important forward progress. This session will provide helpful tips to overcome toxic positivity in your own life, how to deal with others who approach work through this challenging lens and how to harness positivity to reap helpful benefits in many aspects of your life and career.

This workshop is part of Learning and Organizational Development's LEAD Events, an initiative that provides employees with opportunities to learn or refresh skills that can help them grow their careers. LEAD Events are a component of L&OD's Leadership Education and Development, or LEAD, program.
