LORRAINE SEGAL, Educator/Author (1-11-23)

LORRAINE SEGAL, a former college professor who escaped "toxic academia" to start her own consulting business, will join us to discuss her college career; her consulting business on workplace conflict management and communication, entitled "Conflict Remedy", and her upcoming memoir, entitled, "Angels and Earthworms: An Unexpected Journey to Joy, Love, and Miracles". FROM HER WEBSITE: "Let’s face it. We spend a huge part of our lives at work. We want a harmonious workplace – one where we feel supported and safe — a place where we want to go, where we can contribute and connect. We want to feel good about ourselves, and everyone we work with. ​Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Conflicts, grudges, misunderstandings and miscommunication can get in the way. Disagreement is a natural part of human relationship, but you don’t have to stay stuck in conflict! We may appear divided on the surface, yet our fundamental desires and fears are basically the same. Believing that what we do has purpose and meaning, knowing our ideas and feelings are respected — these are basic needs we all share. The good news: It is possible to feel good at work. I help managers, leaders and staff transform difficult situations. Through workshops, training and individualized coaching, I teach practical and spiritual skills that help you communicate more effectively, resolve conflict and support productivity. ​Her latest project, a memoir called: Angels and Earthworms, an unexpected journey to love, joy, and miracles, is about her  transformation from miserable self doubt to self-acceptance, true love, spiritual awareness, and right livelihood." conflictremedy.com
