Currently, Dr. Sternlieb applies these principles in corporate and educational settings. Most people who get hired are valued for a specific skill set – IT, creativity, science, and writing – all knowledge based. However, among the people who get fired, the vast majority lose their jobs because of their lack of people skills. Through his company, MetaWorks, P.C., Dr. Sternlieb’s work focuses on four areas: People Skills (leadership, communication, conflict and change management, team building), Company Culture (diversity and gender issues, violence prevention, ethics, etc), Stress and Burn-Out, and Work – Life Balance.

Most recently, Dr. Sternlieb has become a consultant partner to the producer of PeopleSmart©, a comprehensive and customizable training program to help people work more ‘people smart.’ Modules of this program focus on Understanding People, Resolving Conflict, Assertiveness, Influencing Others, Communication Skills, Change Management, and Feedback Skills.
