      The Positivity Pulse:

      Transforming Your Workplace

      Sherry A Blair

      With

      Melissa Lynn Block

      Copyright 2011 Sherry Blair

      Smashwords Edition

      This book is a home run for managers and their direct reports! . . .Hard-nosed managers could learn a lot from this simple message. Bravo Sherry!

      Vice President, Wall Street Investment Banking Firm

      This book not only epitomizes what Sherry believes in but how Sherry runs an organization. As a long time employee, I have been provided the opportunity to see the Positivity Pulse in action and the many benefits that come from it. As an employee, you feel valued, respected and appreciated. It is a pleasure working in a company that believes and lives this philosophy. This is a must read from employee to CEO!

      Connie Masullo, Systems Performance Specialist

      I’ve had the honor to work with Sherry Blair for six years now. I sought her out while working for another employer because I was looking to feel connected to my agency and valued as an employee. I also had a desire to learn and grow as a professional, and Sherry and her agency embodied many of the values that I was looking for at that time. Sherry is extremely passionate about her work, and she is one of the most compassionate leaders I’ve ever met. She leads from her heart, and her leadership style provides the type of work environment that attracts people to her and her agency. Sherry is constantly looking for new and improved ways to support, guide, and build inner wealth in her employees (and everyone she meets), and The Positivity Pulse provides the precision tools for accomplishing this goal.

      ToniAnne Lofrano, Events Coordinator

      In the past decade of working under the leadership of Sherry Blair she has been an outstanding mentor to me and a shining example of what a leader should be so much so that she has inspired me to pursue a career in the helping profession. I admire her dedication to her profession, her passion to do a good job, and her understanding and care for people in and out of the office. From the first time I met her, I noticed she was a natural at engaging people and finding the positivity in those around her.

      Brendaly Sanchez, Employee Relations Specialist

      The Positivity Pulse takes you on a powerful, inspiring, and motivational journey to a brighter, more successful self and workplace. It provides the tools required to nurture, develop, and become successful, efficient, and vibrant employees!

      Ashley SanGiacomo, Care Manager

      What a timely message!

      As global consciousness progresses from independence to interdependence, every relationship that we have, especially with our colleagues, who we spend increasing amounts of time with in this daunting economy, impacts every other relationship, including the relationship we have with ourselves.

      I could easily identify Justice and Moody in my corporate world, and now I feel I am armed with the tools to change them and myself to be more like Senora Corazon.

      If more people read and applied the nurtured heart approach at all levels within the organization, we could all be singing Shiny Happy People by R.E.M...Put it in your heart, where tomorrow shines, gold and silver shine...

      Narisha Maduray, Business Intelligence Specialist

      The Positivity Pulse is a must read for anyone in a leadership position. Leading from the heart will transform your workplace, leading to a truly peaceful environment where employees will flourish and feel truly appreciated!

      Sherry Blair captures the essence of true leadership with her creative writing style and practical examples of leading from the heart. Nurtured Heart combined with Positive Psychology principles leave the reader motivated to make immediate change! This book will change the status quo of all leaders forever!

      Debbie Riddle, LCSW, Executive Director, Total Family Solutions

      The most valuable resource any organization has is their workers. Frontline workers represent the face of any organization and can make or break your efforts to promote the mission of your organization. The Positivity Pulse outlines a plan of action to assist any organization in achieving the best from each worker. This book is a transformational work that allows the reader to understand how to focus on the positive actions each individual makes and to recognize and utilize teachable moments to increase a worker’s motivation for becoming their most efficient self. The Positivity Pulse makes the transformation of any workplace an achievable goal by making each step real to the reader. It is the tools that The Positivity Pulse outlines that makes this book a must for anyone manager who is looking to get the best from each employee. Understanding how individuals embrace change and an outline of very specific tools allows any organization to begin to make the changes necessary to transform into a positive working environment which in turns allows the organization to maximizes its resources and provide the highest quality output. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in becoming the best manager, coach, mentor, and boss. It is well written and incredibly thought provoking!

      Elizabeth E. Manley, CEO, Caring Partners, Inc.

      Sherry Blair has written an insightful, witty and very useful manual on how to transform any workplace into a more positive, productive, heart centered environment. By seamlessly and very informatively integrating leading corporate motivational ideologies with the powerful ancient wisdom of the Nurtured Heart Approach, Ms. Blair presents a clear, tangible road map for Success. As a manager and clinician I have been inspired and rejuvenated by this book.

      Preface

      Howard Glasser

      Howard Glasser (New York University, 1974) is the Executive Director of the Children’s Success Foundation in Tucson, Arizona. He is designer of The Nurtured Heart Approach and the author of Transforming the Difficult Child, published in 1999 and currently the top selling book on the subject of ADHD, and several other books on his approach. He lectures internationally, teaching therapists, educators and parents about The Nurtured Heart Approach, which is now being used in hundreds of thousands of homes and classrooms around the world. Howard is former director and clinical supervisor of Center for the Difficult Child and he has been a consultant for numerous psychiatric, judicial and educational programs.

      Sherry Blair has a most impressive curriculum vita. She’s a graduate of Columbia University and holds a dual Master of Science in Social Work with concentrations in Policy Analysis and International Social Welfare and Industrial and Organizational Psychology. She is a licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Board Certified Professional Counselor as well as a Professional Coach.

      She uses all of this academic knowledge to provide organizational consulting, coaching, behavioral health services, training and education across several counties in New Jersey. In a typical workweek, Sherry might do in-home counseling with an intensely troubled child or teenager and his family, give a seminar on Positive Psychology or  the Nurtured Heart Approach, or consult with a major corporation – all while juggling the responsibilities of running her own business. Her role encompasses leadership, quality assurance, marketing, program development, clinical work (as a therapist to children, families and adults), business and executive coaching, employee assistance services and critical incident debriefings. And she’s found time, while keeping all of these aspects of her work life thriving, to write this – her first book.

      Sherry has long been invested in using and teaching the tenets of Positive Psychology, which led her to the Nurtured Heart Approach - an approach I developed in the 1990s for transforming difficult children into their inherent greatness. She began using the approach in 2008 and became an Advanced Trainer of the approach in 2010 and has applied the approach with her trademark intelligence, wisdom and enthusiasm to her work as a counselor, supervisor and consultant. In this book, she demonstrates the utility of this approach in the corporate world, and she does so brilliantly.

      When I first taught the Nurtured Heart Approach to parents who were learning to transform their challenging children, I was struck by how often people brought me stories about the ways in which its principles became useful – even transformational – in their workplaces:

      One parent who had a large car dealership went on and on about  the changes the approach had inspired for him at work.
