I remember back in my first job at Neiman’s, I worked in a very small office and the person that I worked really closely with was fantastic and I loved her. We don’t find a way to excuse ourselves, and I bet it’s not working for you.Īnd it shouldn’t, be because let me tell you, the Negative Nancies rub off on people. Sometimes we are that ear, and we let it go longer than it should. So, another thing I always like to think about is what role I am playing in this, because the Negative Nancies of the world need an ear to complain to… A Negative Nancy can fall into any communication style category.
