Ep #58: Toxic Workplaces and Handling Emotion Part 1 with Carrie Wooten

Carrie Wooten is the Owner of Mindset Enterprise and Founder of the nonprofit Operation PHALANX. Carrie harnesses her background in law enforcement, neuro-leadership, positive psychology, and organizational development to serve as a powerful change agent in working with leaders and organizations to increase productivity, performance, and retention through communication-focused training, executive coaching, organizational culture consulting, and authorship.  Because Insight Sunday’s interview is so packed and full of value, I decided to share it with you in two parts! Today, Carrie shares her story and experience in Law Enforcement agencies that led her to found Mindset Enterprise, shares how she developed a servant mentality and talked about what a toxic workplace looks like and how it can impact more than just your work. She also shares what it is to hate your job and how her response gave rise to living her passions and creating her business.  On Tuesday, our conversation continues with talking about grief, letting ourselves and others down, why it’s important to be proactive rather than reactive, and how to cultivate the decisions and habits to become more proactive.  This episode is brought to you by Adaptability Coaching and Consulting.
