Positive Reinforcement in the Workplace

It can be challenging for leaders to understand that increased discretionary effort and workplace efficiency happen by valuing and recognizing employees for their excellent work, not through intimidation or force. Bring Gostick and Elton in to talk about an “All In” Culture where people believe what they do matters, and when noticed, it’s celebrated and rewarded.

In this interactive and engaging session based on the New York Times bestselling business book All In—which includes research from more than 300,000 people in high-performance organizations—Gostick & Elton teach leaders how to Engage, Enable and Energize their workforces.


The presentation outlines how high-performance organizations deliver extraordinary results by creating a vibrant, productive culture where people believe that what they do matters and they can make a difference.

Anxiety in the Workplace

50% OF WORKERS SAY anxiety negatively affects their performance.

60% OF ORGANIZATIONS plan to address anxiety & well-being in the next three years.

75% SAY most stressful part of job is immediate supervisor.

Gostick & Elton provide 8 Strategies to help teams build resilience, handle uncertainty, and get stuff done!

The rising levels of anxiety in the workplace is unprecedented, and a significant contributor is how we manage our people. Toxic workplaces increase anxiety in high-performing employees and can plant the seeds of uncertainty in usually confident workers.

Anxious workers burn out at more than twice the rate of other employees, tend to leave their jobs early, and will never recommend their workplaces to others.

Gostick and Elton’s research shows that almost half of workers say anxiety affects how they do their jobs, and three-quarters say their supervisor is the top reason for their anxiety.

Gostick and Elton detail these issues in their bestselling book, Anxiety at Work: 8 Strategies to Help Teams Build Resilience, Handle Uncertainty, and Get Stuff Done. When you bring them in to speak at your event, they can touch on essential resilience strategies.
