Talk Time with Trish

By: Trish Forante and Lisa Stewart
  • Summary

  • Talk Time with Trish helps to improve communications for men and women. It's about all kinds of relationships; personal and professional. It's about every day interactions, the STUFF that makes up our lives, the STUFF that allows, or doesn't allow us to function in our everyday lives. We are all comprised of parts that make us who we are. Parts we know, that others know. Parts we know, that others don't know. Parts that others know, that we don't. It's about the variables that impact and affect our lives. How we manage in relationships is based on communication. The key to manage effectively in relationships, is effective communication. What makes the difference is the communicator has to be genuine. Everything has to be real. Most important, it has to be proactive vs. reactive. This show is about the human element. It's about all the parts that make us human.

    How do our relationships with supervisors and management influence how happy we are at work? What should we do when we have a supervisor who is disrespectful or downright mean? What can employers and managers do to help those workers who are on the “front lines” become happier and hopefully more productive employees? Many studies rank “communication between employees and senior management” and “relationship with immediate supervisor” among the top five predictors of job satisfaction. Join Lisa Stewart as she interviews Trish Forante about what she learned recently while working part-time as a minimum wage employee. Similar to the executives in the “Undercover Boss” television series, Trish gained valuable insight into the challenges that American Workers face every day.
