IPMA 2004 Education with a Dose of History

Working With Others

The three general sessions at IPMA 2004, each infused with its own brand of humor, shared a common theme: How to work well with others.

To improve the performance of those you work with, Kerry Johnson, of Peak Performance Coaching, advised attendees to praise people at least three times a day, preferably in front of others. Be specific with your praise, he added. Also, try to catch people doing something nice instead of always looking for bad behavior.
