Rejection hurts. A look, a tone of voice, or certain words can ruin your whole day, leading to dwelling and agonizing. And when this affects productivity, emotional costs translate into dollars lost.

Elayne Savage is called The Queen of Rejection®. She'll show you how not to take rejection and disappointment so personally in workplace and personal relationships.

Misunderstandings and hurt feelings lead to growing resentment: "What did she mean?" "Why did he look at me that way?" "Why did he ignore me?" Before you know it, someone fillis in the blanks with rejecting meanings, feels disrespected and takes it personally.

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a full-blown 'personality conflict?' Do you spend hours ruminating and agonizing about perceived slights? When productivity is affected this way, emotional costs translate into dollars lost.

Dr. Savage shows managers and staff:

• how to keep workplace tension from resulting in lost productivity

• use innovative tools for handling criticism and misunderstandings, clearing the way for connection and teamwork

• discover creative strategies and new options to enhance work and personal relationships

She is equally effective in one-on-one coaching or motivating audiences of 5 to 500 – keynotes, seminars, breakout sessions, communication coaching, consulting, and retreats.

Clients include: The Commonwealth Club of California; Levi Strauss Company; Chiron; National School Board Association; The Learning Annex, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles; Junior League of Oakland-East Bay, Inc; NSA/Colorado; Women's Council of Realtors; Highland Hospital, CalWORKS Partnerships, San Francisco Housing Authority, University of California, Berkeley, Davis, and San Francisco
