Work Task

Related Content: Resources

How to find a career which will enable one to survive and thrive is one of life’s most challenging tasks. Adler believed that our life is made possible by the work of others and people need to offer something in exchange. This includes all forms of obligation and responsibility not just that done for money. For students it is school and other responsibilities while for adults it is one’s career and corresponding job satisfaction.

Communicate to Empower at Work! with Dina Emser
Part of the 2019-2020 Webinar Series

Communicate to Empower at Work!  

Most agree that creating respectful workplace settings is a great idea. But how? In this workshop, participants will explore how Adlerian principles are relevant in business today. Communication tools that can help team members communicate to encourage and empower their colleagues at work will be demonstrated and discussed.  

Dina Emser is a Lead Trainer with Positive Discipline, as well as a Professional Certified Coach. She has experienced the value of Positive Discipline in her role as a parent, teacher, school principal (in a school using Positive Discipline school-wide), and business coach and consultant. Dina hired a coach when she served as a school principal and was so impacted by the results that she decided to become trained in the new industry. She chose a coaching program that closely aligned with her training in Positive Discipline and has been sharing these principles for 18 years. She has worked with business professionals in Fortune 100 companies in software development, insurance and financial consulting. She has also worked with women business owners, owners of small or family-owned businesses, and non-profit directors.  

As a school principal, Dina learned first-hand how to translate the Positive Discipline tools she had practiced with children into one that was equally rewarding with adults. Empowering People in the Workplace speaks to her passion and is her first official partnership with Jane.
