Episode description

Presented by Jennifer Wisdom, PhD, MPH, ABPP.

Workplace Politics defines politics as processes and behaviors between people to get things done and get needs met. Dr. Wisdom will solicit examples from the attendees about examples of "politics" that they have encountered and then will address four aspects to help address workplace politics: self-awareness, understanding power and influence, negotiating, and giving/receiving feedback. The workshop is focused on practical ways for people to think differently about politics and to navigate political workplaces. This training is intended for field-based mental health and outreach workers in Los Angeles County.
