Is it possible to create a positive workforce in negative times?

Yes, it is, says speaker, strategist and consultant Liz Jazwiec, RN. But first, you have to get real about how tough a job in healthcare really is. About the negative things you and your staff members do to make it even tougher.

In her audiobook, Eat THAT Cookie! How Workplace Positivity Pays Off... For Individuals, Teams and Organizations, Liz gets real about all that and more. In her darkly humorous, ever-so-slightly sarcastic style - after all she was an ER nurse - she builds a case for the powerful benefits of a positive workplace. (Hint: better patient service, improved efficiencies and lower employee turnover all make the list.)

Funny, inspiring and relatable, Eat THAT Cookie! is packed with realistic, down-to-earth tactics leaders can use right now to infuse positivity into their culture.

Listeners will learn:

• How to decree and enforce mandatory fun so that it's really, well, fun.
• Guidelines for doing celebrations the right way.
• Strategies for dealing with queens, poisoners, complainers and other problem people.
• How not to succumb to process paralysis.
• Why victim thinking is so destructive, and how to eliminate it from the organization.
• How to stop judging shoe-heel smashers, pants unzippers, and other irritating patients.

Great book

Great book to think about your own attitude and journey decisions. I suggest everyone to give a try and see the power of a cookie.

Motivational

The book is aimed at Healthcare, but the stories could be applied to most workplaces. No new ideas, or ground breaking suggestions, are revealed, and the author regularly states, "so much had already been written on this subject." However, her stories of applying those known motivational tactics, to transform the culture of the hospital where she worked, were motivating to me and I intend to begin modeling some of the behaviors she espouses.

Game Changer

I have listened to this book numerous times! After becoming a leader myself, I have shared this book with all of my charge nurses, lead providers and administration. When I interview applicants, I reference this book and state that it’s free to be nice and smile. Having one-on-one conversations with folks in the facility, it is much easier to discuss what makes them happy about their roles in their departments and to make those connections to make them feel like they make a difference…because they do, they just need that validation sometimes. Liz is an inspiration and I absolutely credit her with with many decisions I have made with my role as a leader! THANK YOU LIZ!!!

Much needed read
