Despair Inc.�: Why Workplace �Communication� Is Overrated

According to leading satirist Dr. E.L. Kersten, author of �The Art of Demotivation,� the source of workplace conflict is often misdiagnosed. What�s seen as a simple �misunderstanding� or �failure to communicate� really runs much deeper: Your coworkers don�t actually like you. Kersten helps clarify the situation by translating what they�re really saying.

Speaker: Dr. E.L. Kersten, Co-Founder & COO, Despair Inc.
