Listen to today's podcast... The longer someone is bullied, the more likely they are to develop physical, emotional, and psychological scars that can last a lifetime. The four most common types of bullying are: Verbal, Social, Physical and Cyber Bullying. Bullying can be devastating, leaving a person withdrawn, shy, and insecure. It can trigger a variety of stress-related illnesses, cause relationship difficulties, and upset productivity and engagement. Unrelenting bullying can lead a person to take their own life. A study conducted by the Workplace Bullying Institute, found that 37% of workers have been bullied, and that the majority of bullies were people in positions of authority.

THIS IS A REPLAY OF EPISODE #4 Dr. Namie will discuss his journey as a workplace bullying researcher and advocate over the past 25 years and his efforts to change the nature of work through the adoption of the Healthy Workplace Bill. From his experience of vicarious exposure to his wife's experience of bullying, through their formation of an organization to train and develop anti-bullying advocates across the United States, supporting bullying targets and consulting with organizations, unions, and leadership groups as well as serving as an expert witness. Dr. Namie, his wife Dr. Ruth Namie, and the Workplace Bullying Institute have been pursuing healthier workplaces for years. He will discuss a number of important concepts that are essential in establishing a psychologically healthy and safe environment.
Federal laws are on the books that require physical safety and prohibit harassment and discrimination on the job. However, handling complaints that accuse managers, or even executives, of being disrespectful or abusive can be legal gray areas that leave HR caught in the middle. Dr. Gary Namie, Director of the Workplace Bullying Institute, and Suffolk University Law Professor, David Yamada, share practical ways to address these delicate situations. According to Dr. Namie: “Bullying is all about a narcissistic individual of any rank fouling up the work process and productivity and team dynamics. So bullying actually prevents work from getting done. That's the hook that HR can use because if they can show the documentable harm on productivity, then the C-suite has to care … because bullies are very expensive to keep.” Highlights [2:32] The Healthy Workplace Bill [7:23] What qualifies as bullying or abuse [10:52] HR's toxin handler role [14:36] The business case for doing something about bullying [26:57] Types of bullies and bullying traits [32:57] When bullying is written off as personality conflict [33:58] Alternative remedies to a zero-tolerance policy [41:02] High-performing bullies [45:48] Gen Z's influence [46:30] Helpful actions HR can take Guest Bios Gary Namie, Director, Workplace Bullying Institute Gary Namie is a social psychologist who began consulting for organizations as “The Work Doctor” in 1985. He also taught graduate and undergraduate courses in management and psychology and co-founded the Workplace Bullying Institute with his wife, Ruth, to prevent and correct abusive conduct at work through education and training. The couple has also written the books “Bully-Proof Yourself at Work,” “The Bully at Work” and “The Bully-Free Workplace.” David Yamada, Director, The New Workplace Institute at Suffolk University Law School David Yamada is a globally recognized authority on workplace bullying and psychological abuse. He authored the Healthy Workplace Bill, which has become the template for enacted and proposed workplace anti-bullying state laws throughout the U.S. His blog, Minding the Workplace, has attracted more than 1 million page views since launching in 2008.

I find today's episode is incredibly appropriate as for some reason, the very subject matter we're going to touch on happens to be so relevant. See, I was bullied a lot when I was a kid. Something I'm sure many of you can relate to. I'm from a different time where I was taught to strike a balance between sucking it up to recognizing bullying from just playful schoolyard teasing to standing up for myself even if it meant a bruised lip when other person went over the line. I however cannot speak to some of the particular traumas that some people have experienced from their childhood and have unfortunately carried on way into their adult life...and sadly, in their workplace as well. Because truth is, personally, in the grand scheme of things, I'll admit that I never took the time to put a label on it. But as much as my tendencies would have me believe otherwise, some of the worst bullies can often be found in the very place where you work. Workplace bullying is a very real thing. There's an actual prevalence of it in North America. A January 2021 Workplace Bullying Survey survey conducted by the Workplace Bullying Institute estimates 30 percent of Americans have suffered abusive conduct at work. That's about 48.6 million Americans. if this numbers seem unreal. Imagine the stories of the people who have experienced these incidents in the first place. I believe it made for an interesting and educational exchange as today's guest, Zenica Chatman, graced this humble podcast with her insights, expertise, wit and incredible truth. I admire people who have tapped into their purpose with a clear sense of direction and drive and Zenica is one of those. Zenica is a certified personal and executive coach, workplace trauma expert, trainer and speaker helping her clients rediscover their inner strength and confidence. As a trained journalist and communications strategist, Zenica uses her unique background to help her clients reimagine what's possible for them and design a career and life they love. She decided to take a stand against corporate bullies after she was left emotionally broken by a pair of workplace bullies at the height of her career. Once she realized that too many women (especially women of colour) had experiences similar to hers, Zenica decided to take a stand against workplace bullies and help other women learn to stand up, speak out and be heard in the workplace and beyond! This episode is an emotional one. Zenica's story and mission are truly noteworthy and it's an honour to bring you this wonderful exchange. On this episode, recognizing workplace bullying as it happens, knowing when it's not , not giving away your power, the importance of guiding principles for finding personal strength...and so much more.

While there are some stronger and broader laws in particular states, there is currently no federal standard defining, let alone outlawing, workplace bullying if the case does not involve harassment or discrimination of a member of a “protected status group” based on their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability. And yet, according to a 2021 survey commissioned by the Workplace Bullying Institute, 30% of adult Americans say they are currently being bullied or have experienced bullying at work, and that number jumps up to 39% for the currently employed Americans who were surveyed. That's not a small, insignificant problem. That's a lot of the working population. And the results also show that instances of bullying have actually increased in recent years with the expansion of remote work. But advocates are pushing legislators in different states to strengthen laws to protect workers from bullying in the workplace, and there are signs of hope concerning a bill in Oregon that would do just that. In this mini-cast, we speak with Misty Orlando, who has been the primary grassroots lobbyist for the bill, as well as Dr. Jennifer Frazer, author of The Bullied Brain, and Jerry Carbo, president of the National Workplace Bullying Coalition and professor of management at the Grove College of Business at Shippensburg University.

In this episode of the Psych Health and Safety USA podcast, host Dr. I. David Daniels will talk with two friends whose relationship is almost exclusively the result of their common interest in addressing workplace bullying. Janet Glover-Kerkvliet and Sonja Pitts are the co-founders of the Maryland Healthy Workplace Task Force, which continues to advocate for legislation to prevent bullying in the workplace. Both are also affiliates of the Workplace Bullying Institute. Nearly one-third of adult Americans (30%) said they directly experienced abusive conduct at work. Efforts to make the workplace safer by creating regulations have been taken up by many based on their experience. In this case, one with direct experience of being the target of bullying and another with experience as a therapist assisting targets have joined forces to help foster change. Janet and Sonja will share their views on the journey toward workplaces where bullying and exposure to other psychosocial hazards are a thing of the past.
In this episode, Mary Conquest speaks with Dr Gary Namie, a social psychologist widely regarded as North America's foremost authority on workplace bullying. Along with his wife, he's the founder of the Workplace Bullying Institute, and they've also co-authored multiple books and academic articles addressing this issue.Gary begins this powerful interview with a very impactful definition of workplace bullying. He explains why this “disgraceful and embarrassing human condition” exists and, perhaps more alarmingly, describes how institutions actually allow it to perpetuate.Dr Namie feels very strongly that HR has failed to address bullying, so issues a rallying call to safety professionals to use their hazard identification expertise to end the prevalence of workplace bullying.He's encouraged by OHS professionals' adoption of psychosocial safety management and believes that post #metoo media attention on toxic workplace environments will help raise the profile of bullying prevention.Gary passionately discusses both the individual and organizational negative consequences of workplace bullying and gives safety professionals practical guidance on how they can help solve this issue. Despite sharing some optimism about the future, he leaves us with no doubt about the severity of this problem.To contact Dr Gary Namie or learn more about his mission to eradicate workplace bullying, visit:Home - Workplace Bullying InstituteSafety Labs is created by Slice, the only safety knife on the market with a finger-friendly® blade.

A reminder that I've moved to a once-a-month webinar format, held on the third Thursday of the month at 4:00 p.m. Eastern. The topic is different each month, and I jam-pack them full of content. To learn about the next webinar: https://mastercoachwebinars.carrd.co Through various groups I belong to and sites I visit regularly, there is a lot of talk about being in a “toxic work environment.” Today, I want to drill down on what actually constitutes a toxic work environment and what to do if you are in one. I also want to talk about what isn't a toxic work environment and how to manage these situations. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about a toxic workplace: It is marked by significant infighting, where personal battles often harm productivity. Here's a quote: “It is reasonable to conclude that an organization can be considered toxic if it is ineffective as well as destructive to its employees.” Here's what monster.com has to say about a toxic work environment: A toxic work environment is one wherein dysfunction and drama reign, whether it's the result of a narcissistic boss, vindictive co-workers, absence of order, et cetera. In addition to harming your morale, this kind of climate can also be damaging to your health, says Paul White, co-author of Rising Above a Toxic Workplace. “Stress takes a toll on your body,” White says. Health problems stemming from a hostile workplace include hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and decreased mental health, and can lead to fatal conditions, research from Stanford and Harvard Universities found. “A toxic environment keeps people in a fight or flight mindset—the constant pump of cortisol, testosterone, and norepinephrine generates physical, emotional, and mental stress,” says Cheri Torres, an Asheville, North Carolina-based business leadership coach and author of Conversations Worth Having: Using Appreciative Inquiry to Fuel Productive and Meaningful Engagement. She says you can't do your best work when you work in a toxic workplace, and your health and well-being is at risk. As I was researching for this episode, I saw a lot of things credited as contributing to workplace toxicity that simply aren't. No boss, coworker, or CEO is perfect – and a boss who isn't organized or a coworker who is chronically late doesn't make a workplace toxic. Here are the signs Monster gives for a toxic workplace: 1. You are chronically stressed out. Take this quiz to find out how stressed you are: https://www.stress.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Workplace-Stress-Survey.pdf 2. You're being overworked. 3. You're being bullied. The Workplace Bullying Institute defines bullying as “repeated mistreatment of an employee by one or more employees; abusive conduct that is threatening, humiliating, or intimidating; work sabotage; or verbal abuse.” While 61% of bullies are bosses, 33% of bullies are peers with the same rank as their targets, and a surprising 6% of bullies are subordinates, a survey by the Workplace Bullying Institute found. 4. You're a contributor to – or recipient of – office gossip. 5. Your boss is a hothead. 6. Communication is poor/nonexistent, and it is affecting your ability to do your job. Here are additional signs from Bustle.com: 1. An absence of work/life balance (or, as I like to call it, work/life blend) 2. You are constantly getting sick. 3. Family and friends are noticing a difference in your character. 4. Your employer culture is “competitive conflict.” 5. Your time boundaries are not being respected. (Think “Two Weeks' Notice”) 6. Your boss encourages bad/unprofessional/unethical behavior 7. Your gut-check tells you that your ethics and morals are eroding the longer you work there – you are losing yourself. Here are clear-cut situations of workplace toxicity: 1. Sexual harassment 2. Bullying 3. Illegal behaviors (stealing, cheating, misrepresenting results) 4. Being asked to participate in or look the other way with illegal/unethical behaviors 5. Workplace safety or environmental issues that aren't addressed 6. Lies/undermining that are affecting your ability to do your job or get the results you are expected to achieve So what are your options when you find yourself in a toxic work environment? There are at least three: 1. Approach the perpetrator directly. A quote from Monster: “You should be able to resolve many interpersonal problems without intervention. “Generally, your best first step is to have a gentle backstage conversation with the person who's causing you harm,” says Sutton. But, rather than focusing on how someone's behavior makes you feel, focus on the negative consequences of the person's actions.” 2. Confront with a team and go up the chain of command. According to Monster: “If the direct approach is futile, you may have to get help from your superiors (assuming they're not the problem) to resolve serious issues with co-workers. But before you request a meeting, there are a couple measures you should take. “First, figure out if any of your peers are having similar problems. “The more fellow victims you have, the more power you have,” Sutton says. Obviously, you don't want to bombard your co-worker; one or two representatives in addition to yourself should suffice. “Second, gather hard evidence to prove your case. For example, if your colleague is frequently trying to sabotage your work by turning their assignments in late, compile emails that show times when this has happened and present what you have in the meeting.” 3. Plan your exit strategy. “Some companies simply have a culture of dysfunction. If the toxicity is coming from the top down, you may be better off coming up with an exit strategy,” according to Monster. Finally, let's talk about what doesn't constitute workplace toxicity. These are all contextual, because if one of these non-toxic things is happening and, as a result, your health is suffering or your friends and family are noticing a negative change in you, then there is evidence that that thin is toxic FOR YOU. What I want to make clear with these four things is that you have within your power the ability to shift your mindset around these things so that your experience at work is more positive. This DOES NOT mean you have to stay in that job…it simply means that, while you're still there, you can have a better experience. 1. You don't want to go to work. 2. You aren't as happy as work as you used to be. 3. You don't feel respected. 4. Your point of view and ideas aren't being heard. What can you do in these situations? Here are my suggestions: 1. Do a pros/cons exercise – what reasons do you have for not wanting to go to work? Why don't you feel as happy about work as you once did? In what ways DO you feel respected at work? When have your POV and ideas been heard at work? 2. Take a careful look at your cons – what shifts can you make to move some of these items out of this column? Maybe they won't end up in the pros column, but at least you can neutralize them. For example, if one of the reasons you don't want to go to work is a particular co-worker's attitude towards you, what can YOU do about that? You could schedule a time to speak one-on-one with this co-worker. If one of the reasons you aren't as happy at work as you used to be is because you've been passed over for a promotion, perhaps you could meet with your boss about why you weren't chosen and what you could do to increase your chances of success next time around. 3. Engage in a gratitude practice – Every morning, I write down three things I am truly grateful for, and I really FEEL that gratitude. 4. Mindfulness – Become more aware of when the negative thoughts are creeping in and choose to think something more positive instead. For example, if you find yourself sitting in your car in the parking lot every morning not wanting to enter the building, this is likely because you are thinking something like “I hate my job.” Once you realize this thought, you can shift your thinking to something like “I like _____ about my job.” A slight shift that can make all the difference. 5. Focus on what you CAN control – nothing exacerbates a feeling of powerlessness more than putting yourself in the role of victim. If you don't feel your POV is being heard at work, how can YOU show up to meetings differently to increase your chances of being heard? 6. Engage in a bit of perspective-adjusting. We tend to think the grass is always greener over there…but it often isn't. If you choose to go elsewhere, keep in mind that there may be similar problems there…or even worse ones. Is what you have REALLY that bad? Are you in the wrong job that chips away at you every day?

Research published in the UK by the Chartered Institute for Personnel Development (CIPD) in 2020 shows that 15% of people said they experienced bullying at work within the past 3 years, and 18% said they had observed this. The most recent survey by the Workplace Bullying Institute in the U.S. shows 30% of workers there experienced it. Bullying at work is something that doesn't often get talked about, despite the high frequency of occurrence. In this episode, Amy Schellenberg talks about her experience of workplace bullying, and how she now supports others who are experiencing it too.

Workplace bullying is a growing problem in America and at a shocking rate almost comparable to an epidemic. Science continues to prove that when left unaddressed, it can cause insurmountable physical and mental health problems. Cases of workplace bullying are growing leaps and bounds and calls for a legal route of relief. It needs a law. We talked to Dr. Gary Namie, Co-founder and Director of Workplace Bullying Institute, about workplace bullying behaviors, the shocking number of bullying cases in the US, and the Healthy Workplace Bill. In this episode, we dug deep on these topics: 01:39 - The passion behind ending workplace bullying and abuse. 07:32 - Definition of workplace bullying 08:11 - Is workplace bullying behavior deliberate, and does the intent matter? 16:32 - The correlation between workplace bullying and the Me Too Movement 17:16 - Who are the targets of workplace bullying? 19:05 - Shocking numbers of workplace bullying cases of work-at-home employees vs. in the office 21:04 - Is the bullying behavior carried through every facet of the person’s life? 23:34 - Are workplace bullies teachable and capable of change? 27:05 - Traits of the bully targets 31:26 - Is there a specific target of abuse? 32:47 - The industries or professions where workplace bullying is most prevalent 34:54 - The impact of fraternity mentality on workplace bullying in the healthcare industry 36:25 - The Healthy Workplace Bill - getting the law passed Resources Mentioned: Dr. Gary Namie, The Work Doctor - https://garynamie.com/ The Bully-Free Workplace: Stop Jerks, Weasels, and Snakes From Killing Your Organization (book) - https://www.amazon.com/Bully-Free-Workplace-Weasels-Killing-Organization/dp/0470942207 The Bully at Work: What You Can Do to Stop the Hurt and Reclaim Your Dignity on the Job (book) - https://www.amazon.com/Bully-Work-What-Reclaim-Dignity/dp/1402224265 Healthy Workplace Bill - https://workplacebullying.org/hwb/ Workplace Bullying University - https://workplacebullying.org/university/ Professor Heinz Leymann - http://www.psychologicalharassment.com/Professor-Heinz-Leymann-Biography.htm Me Too Movement - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_Too_movement 2021 U.S. Workplace Bullying Survey - https://workplacebullying.org/2021-wbi-survey/ Connect with Dr. Gary Namie: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/workplacebullyinginstitute/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/garynamie/ @garynamie Twitter: https://twitter.com/GaryNamie @GaryNamie LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garynamie/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSaiH5WBQ3N3oLYptDyFHsQ Connect with Nisar Law Group: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nisarlawpc/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nisarlaw/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/nisarlaw Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/mahirnisar Need help?

Workplace bullying is frighteningly common and takes an enormous toll on our businesses. Research from Dr. Judy Blando (of the University of Phoenix) has proven that almost 75% of employees surveyed had been affected by workplace bullying, whether as a target or a witness.75%. That’s huge.So what exactly is workplace bullying?The Workplace Bullying Institute defines it thusly: “Workplace Bullying is repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons (the targets) by one or more perpetrators. It is abusive conduct that is: threatening, humiliating, or intimidating, or work-interference, i.e. sabotage, which prevents work from getting done.”One of the main differences between schoolyard bullying and workplace bullying is that it tends to be less physically harmful and more psychological and verbal in nature. It’s subtler than schoolyard bullying but is quite distinctive from normal workplace stress.According to Wikipedia, “Bullying is characterized by:• Repetition (occurs regularly)• Duration (is enduring)• Escalation (increasing aggression)• Power disparity (the target lacks the power to successfully defend his or her self)• Attributed intent” According to the Workplace Bullying Institute (WBI), bullying is four times more common than either sexual harassment or racial discrimination on the job.Who The Bullies AreHere is what you have to understand, the targets of workplace bullying are not the weakest players—they are often the strongest.Let’s say that again. The common misconception is that, like schoolyard bullying, the targets of workplace bullying are loners, or “weird” or the people who “don’t fit.” In fact, the reverse is true.People become targets because something about them is threatening to the bully. Often, they are more skilled, more technically proficient, have a higher EQ or people just like them better. They are often workplace veterans who mentor new hires.A quote from the Workplace Bullying Institute: “WBI research findings and conversations with thousands of targets have confirmed that targets appear to be the veteran and most skilled person in the workgroup.”Now the bully tends to be someone who is skilled at manipulating and controlling, but while they see everything as a competition, they do not feel skilled/competent enough to compete on their own merits. Hence, they bully as a futile attempt to feel more powerful.The bully often works hard to create the perception that they are strong by putting down and blaming others. Often the boss of the bully knows the bully is “disliked” but thinks that the organization cannot do without them and makes “allowances.” The bullying is framed as “personality conflict.”What Bullying Is Costing Your CompanyWhen you, as the leader of an organization, allow bullying to occur, you create at least five problems:Problem 1. The target of the bullying will experience a loss of confidence and an increase in stress that often shows up in health problems. Their performance will decline. They may need more time off to recover. So you have lower performance by at least one person, the target.Problem 2. By allowing the bullying to continue, you are accepting a toxic culture, prevalent Critter State, and reduced performance and morale. The people witnessing the bullying will have to choose to side with the bully, leave, risk retribution by speaking out, or remain passive and try to stay under the bully’s radar. To be non-threatening to the bully, they may lower their performance in some way.The 3rd problem created by tolerating bullying: Eventually the target will have no recourse but to leave. Research has shown that the vast majority of targets eventually leave. You now have lost a good employee and have all the costs of a new hire.Problem 4. You have the almost certain guarantee that the cycle will repeat itself. I find that organizations which condone bullying, which have prevalent Critter State, also have high employee turnover rates, far less revenue per employee, increased absences, and the list goes on and on.Finally, the 5th problem. You are opening yourself up to potential litigation. While bullying is not, strictly speaking, illegal, it may be connected to a form of harassment or discrimination which can be subject to litigation. At the least, attention will be taken up in tracking and “proving” a case.All this from denying bullying—oh, and let’s add the personal guilt of not protecting one’s tribe.How To Stop Bullying—And Start Boosting Smart StateWorkplace bullies can be hard to detect because they work within the rules of the organization. That means that the solutions lie within the organizational structure.I have been asked to coach several workplace bullies because someone, usually their boss, wanted them to change. The problem with this sort of coaching is that the person themselves doesn’t want to change. The coaching is seen as a punishment rather than as a reward and a path to greater leadership.The reality is that the leadership team is responsible. Bullying cannot happen without approval (example: “oh that’s just how so-and-so is!”). It’s up to you to create an environment that is safe and healthy for the entire team—the Smart State. The biggest problem with bullies is usually that someone higher up likes them – I’m sure you’ve heard it: “oh, so-and-so is great at a party!” - or some other nonsense.The first step is to confront the bully. Use my formal feedback steps to outline the specific behaviors that must change. Agree on objective performance measurements. Make sure that the bully transfers their feeling of threat from their target to the organization. Give them specific ways to manipulate and control their own outcomes—turn their skills into assets if possible. If not possible, they have to go. If you are serious about creating the culture of your dreams, you have to be willing to hire and fire based on your values.I have found that what works best, culturally, is to focus on creating structures that reward “Smart State” behaviors and discourage/punish bullying behaviors. This starts with ensuring the confidentiality of anyone reporting bullying behavior and ensuring that there are no reprisals.Organizational structures which put the focus on problem solving and which create clear and fair performance markers work to reduce bullying. Some examples include: • reward ideas and innovations• reward people for bringing safety or other problems to leaders’ attention• use structures, like Kanban boards, which isolate bottlenecks as work flow issues only, and therefore reduce finger-pointing and blame• implement an intranet system where team members can give each other high fives and recognize contribution• make sure any performance measuring systems you are using are fair and objective, and reward what you are actually interested in achieving (for example, one client was rewarding employees for quantity but not measuring quality, and our assessment found that their “high performers” were actually the ones creating problems).Remember, stopping bullying begins with you.

The longer someone is bullied, the more likely they are to develop physical, emotional, and psychological scars that can last a lifetime. The four most common types of bullying are: Verbal, Social, Physical and Cyber Bullying. Bullying can be devastating, leaving a person withdrawn, shy, and insecure. It can trigger a variety of stress-related illnesses, cause relationship difficulties, and upset productivity and engagement. Unrelenting bullying can lead a person to take their own life. A study conducted by the Workplace Bullying Institute, found that 37% of workers have been bullied, and that the majority of bullies were people in positions of authority. Building Resiliency During National Stop Bullying Day Using The Steps Of The Proactive Personal Response: Number one, though it is not easy, communicate with the offender and let them know that you want the behaviour to stop.

Think about what you can design that's your secret sauce… To be able to clearly answer the questions. What is the problem you solve? And who do you serve? Who is your human? And if you align all of your marketing to those two questions you will just shortcut a lot of fluff that that you really don't need. Customers don't care anything about us they care about themselves.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month and October 18-24, 2020 is Freedom From Workplace Bullies week in the US. Please help us get the word out by sharing this episode with your network. I introduce this episode by telling my experience of how I “met” Janice (so far we've only met virtually, but I can't wait to actually be in her presence in real time!) and how her beautiful writing on her blog touched my heart and helped me on my way to healing from my workplace trauma. Janice shares how she lost her 16-year career in the aviation industry to workplace abuse and the toll it took on both her physical and mental health which led her to, wisely, seek help. Throughout the process, she began to feel a sense of social responsibility to help and educate others on workplace bullying. She began blogging as part of her treatment and therapy and named her blog “The Empowered Employee.” Janice talks about how, deep down, she has the heart of an employee – she loved working for an organization that had good values and the sense of family she felt. But after her workplace abuse experience, she realized that, as that loyal employee, she was at a great disadvantage and found herself very disempowered to handle the situation she encountered. By giving back, she experiences a three-fold reward: helping others, self-empowerment and healing. Janice shares the most recent statistics on workplace bullying and the toll it takes on target's health on every level. 80% of workplace bullying is not illegal in the U.S. and even targets who fall under a so-called “protected class” can have a difficult time proving workplace discrimination.We talk about the toll workplace abuse takes on the families of the targets and how even well-meaning friends and family do not understand the difficult journey we are on. How losing your job or career because of workplace abuse is like multiple deaths happening all at once, as well as the crushing hit to our belief systems, our belief in ourselves, the way we saw the world, our sense of safety, our sense of trust, the way we once operated in the world vs. how to navigate it going forward. Just as with a literal death and grieving, everyone's process is different, and we don't want to compare ourselves to others who seem further along on their journey to recovery. We talk about the incredible resources that are out there to help you on your road to recovery: Connecting with other targets who are brave survivors and become our tribe – through LinkedIn networking, websites, webinars, support groups and so much more! Janice talks about her work with The Workplace Bullying Institute, Dignity Together, Re-Define, The National Workplace Bullying Coalition and her new YouTube Talk Show with co-host Robin Barnette called “Two Targets Talk”. We talk about the importance of sharing our stories and being advocates, not just for ourselves to heal, but for our children to have safer workplaces and laws that protect them from the painful abuse we have been through. To be fore-warned is to be fore-armed! Janice also makes the very valid point that it's more of a liability for organizations to NOT address culture than it is for them to be proactive and set systems, processes and training in place to protect their employees and reputation.We wrap up the episode with Janice sharing what she feels is the most important quality of a gentlewoman to emulate today – you are going to love the one she chose!

October is National bullying prevention month & this week, October 18-24 is Freedom From Workplace Bullies week in the US & Workplace Bullying Awareness Week in Canada.So in Part 1 of this Episode with Linda Crockett, I begin by sharing my personal workplace abuse experience in the nonprofit sector and how the Board of Directors failed miserably in its fiduciary responsibilities. I also share a fantastic experience I had recently on a virtual call with David Neal of The Eighth Mile Consulting in Brisbane, Australia.Linda starts out by sharing her personal journey as a Social Worker who was, unbeknownst to her, bullied for over twenty years in multiple sectors including healthcare, nonprofit & government. She explains that it felt like she had a dark cloud hanging over her, that every time she spoke up in defense of someone or something that wasn't right, her work life became more and more difficult until she finally moved on, only to have the same thing happen over and over again. How is that possible, you ask, for someone with 20 years of experience identifying abuse and helping others to cope with it, to not be able to see that she herself was a victim? Linda explains that painful revelation and how, in time, it sparked a fire in her soul to provide the help she couldn't find, at a time she sorely needed it, for others. She goes on to share the work she and others did to effect change in their province of Alberta, Canada to protect victims of workplace bullying. Linda chose, after careful deliberation, to launch her company on her own, rather than as a non-profit entity. She literally put her life savings on the line for a cause she felt needed a platform, despite severe financial cost to herself and her family. Her slogan is “All Voices Will Be Heard”Linda also defines what IS and what IS NOT considered workplace bullying and how to identify it. She also shares tips on what people should do if they suspect, or are confused, concerned, or fearful about reporting abuse. She answers the questions: What do targets experience? What do bystanders experience? She also shares a story about a perpetrator that she treated successfully – YES, there IS hope for some bullies!Thank you for listening!Don't forget to Rate, Review & Subscribe!ABOUT MY GUEST Linda CrockettLinda Crockett is a certified trauma therapist and social worker with 32 years of experience in her profession. After experiencing workplace bullying and receiving a diagnosis of PTSD as a result, she discovered there were no resources available to people suffering from this workplace abuse. Linda then completed her master's degree specializing in this area and became a longstanding member of the International Association of Workplace Bullying and Harassment. She is also a proud alumnus of the Workplace Bullying Institute in the USA.In 2010 she pioneered the first full service, workplace bullying resource centre in Canada. Linda offers services from consults to assessments, training for leaders and staff, advocacy, and coaching. On the private practise side of her business, Linda provides specialized treatment for those who are harmed, and a specialize rehab program for those doing the harming. Her philosophy is that we must provide education and treatment for all parties, or we will never fully resolve this abuse. Linda has lobbied for changes in policies, legislation, and with this now obtained in Alberta Canada, she is now working on establishing standards for investigations relating to workplace psychological harassment or psychological violence.FIND MY GUEST HEREWebsite: abrc.caOther Show Links:Talk @ Workplace Bullying Witnesses & Bystanders by Dr. Julia Shaw | TEDxLondonWomenVideo Interview with David Neal of The Fifth Mile ConsultingYOUR HOST: Michelle HorlbogenHER MISSION: To foster civility, respect, and integrity (with a dash of sartorial elegance) in the boardroom and beyond.HER STORY: Two days after reporting ethical concerns to her employer, Michelle was fired.

According to the Workplace Bullying Institute 19% of adult Americans are bullied in the workplace, with over 60 million workers somehow affected. Bullying is a cancer that needs to be pulled out by its root. In my book, Tough As Nails: Finding Your Voice as a Woman in the Workplace, I discuss bullying called by another name: mean-girl cultures. Regardless of what you call it and who the perpetrator is, it's a serious problem. In this Podcast, I've invited someone whose career is dedicated to tackling workplace bullying to dissect this issue and offer solutions. Matt Paknis is a senior management consultant, author, former football player and former assistant coach at Penn State under Joe Paterno. Contact him at mattpaknis.com for more information.
Work from home has led to increased reports of electronic workplace bullying. Here's Megan Lynch's conversation with Dr. Gary Namie of the Workplace Bullying Institute this morning on Total Information AM Saturday
The longer someone is bullied, the more likely they are to develop physical, emotional, and psychological scars that can last a lifetime. The four most common types of bullying are: Verbal, Social, Physical and Cyber Bullying. Bullying can be devastating, leaving a person withdrawn, shy, and insecure. It can trigger a variety of stress-related illnesses, cause relationship difficulties, and upset productivity and engagement. Unrelenting bullying can lead a person to take their own life. A study conducted by the Workplace Bullying Institute, found that 37% of workers have been bullied, and that the majority of bullies were people in positions of authority. So Here Are Today's Hot Tips For Building Resiliency During National Stop Bullying Day Using The Steps Of The Proactive Personal Response: Number one, though it is not easy, communicate with the offender and let them know that you want the behaviour to stop. Number two, document every incident, including witnesses, and every conversation. And number three, if it continues, let your supervisor or designated officer know about what has been happening And finally, keep reminding yourself that you are a good person and are worthy of respect. As leaders, educating around bullying and developing strong policies and procedures to deter It, are the most effective means of minimizing its occurrence and impact. If you like today's wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app. Looking for more tips to build your resiliency?

The Boss Bully - How-To Survive and Thrive! I have been bullied by almost every boss I’ve ever had. Am I a victim-type? No Way! I am a strong, outspoken woman. I’m a second-generation American, a proud Latina, with a Master’s Degree in Communications, well-read, and digitally advanced. Maybe that is why I’ve been bullied. And you know what, I don’t care why I was bullied. I care about those of us who are at the end of the Bully Stick. I’m not going to call us victims. We are Bullied! Period. This is Episode 7 of Wanting Ice Water because sometimes work feels like you are in hell and "There's people in Hell who want Ice Water" and they ain't getting it. I began researching Bullies in the workplace for the Wanting Ice Water Series. I feel it's all part of communications in the digital age because communicating with a bully is tough. Almost Next to Impossible. I'm here to share stories and offer information. It's all about Self-Help! Do you know there is a Workplace Bullying Institute? I found it online. They conducted a study of the issue in 2017. I will link to their study below. I will also link to information on the Healthy Workplace Bill, this legislation is at the center of a grassroots campaign to get the proposed bill enacted. It's all about Bullying and how this "American Epidemic" is making us sick. I agree! Totally. IF YOU ARE BEING BULLIED, HANG IN THERE SISTERS AND BROS! Please subscribe and share. Love, gloria Here are some findings from the Workplace Bullying Institute: • 19% of Americans are bullied, another 19% witness it• 61% of Americans are aware of abusive conduct in the workplace• 60.4 million Americans are affected by it• 70% of perpetrators are men; 60% of targets are women (THIS IS ME)• Hispanics are the most frequently bullied race (THIS IS ME TOO!)• 61% of bullies are bosses, the majority (63%) operate alone• 40% of bullied targets are believed to suffer adverse health effects Links: Workplace Bullying Institute: https://www.workplacebullying.org/wbiresearch/wbi-2017-survey/ Healthy Workplace Bill: https://healthyworkplacebill.org/ Music: Thank you for the music that runs under some parts of this episode: Bay Breeze by FortyThr33 https://soundcloud.com/fortythr33-43 Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

It's safe to say many of us have experienced bullying in some way, shape or form. It can be cyberbullying, workplace, family, school or peer pressure. Many people, children, teenagers, and women have a difficult time overcoming the devastating effects of bullying. Tragically, some victims of bullying turn and become bullies themselves! Workplace bullying, as defined by the Workplace Bullying Institute is, “the repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons (the targets) by one or more perpetrators.” It is abusive conduct, which is threatening, humiliating and intimidating, and includes work interference – sabotage – preventing work from being done or verbal abuse. My guest initially tried to deal with workplace bullying by avoiding the individuals who targeted her. When she had issues with a co-worker, she retreated into her cubicle. However, when her work was sabotaged by misplacing reports and missed deadlines, she was forced to deal with the bullying directly. After all, her professional reputation was in jeopardy and she could not hide in her office hoping it would go away. Tune in to hear how the plot twisted when Angeline dealt with the bullying and went on to become an agent of change. Today she is empowering Christian women to be positioned for power in the workplace. Equipping them with the tools and strategies that helped her heal and overcome the effects of workplace bullying. Whatever challenge you may be going through, it can change. When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change.

In this week's audible, I share the story about my sixth grade bully and the impact getting bullied has had on how I've played my position over the years. I also have an exciting announcement to share with you so stay tuned for that! As far as the big picture of bullying goes… We tend to think of bullying as a kid problem but it's actually a human problem. Bullying in the workplace is on the rise and it's impacting the bottom line of a lot of companies because people who don't feel safe at work aren't producing the work the companies expect them to. Every target of a bully may lose up to 200 hours of productivity annually. If that targeted employee takes sick or vacation time, it may be a total of 400 hours of lost production to the employer. Here are a few 2017 stats about workplace bullying sponsored by the Workplace Bullying Institute: 60.3 Million American workers are affected by workplace bullying 70% of workplace bullies are male, 30% are female Rank -- 61% comes from the boss; 33% is coworker driven and 6% from the bottom up Some other things about bullying I found about come from Brandon Gaille, who is one of PYP MVP's Epsiode #77: 62% saw sabotaging of others' work or reputations as the primary form of bullying in the workplace. 80%. That's the percentage of bullies who are able to have a negative effect on 5 or more co-workers. 37% of the people who are targeted by bullies are considered to be “compassionate and kind” co-workers. Only 6% of the targets of workplace bullying are aggressive. I can relate to that last set of stats -- as a compassionate and kind person, I was an easy target. There's a growing body of work in the scientific community about the effects of trauma on our lives, the way trauma manifests in our minds and our bodies. Bullying is no small matter. Having been a victim of bullying, I understand this. If you or someone you know are experiencing workplace bullying or online bullying or any kind of bullying, check out http://stopbullying.gov and http://operationrespect.org Both provide relevant information and resources for people experiencing bullying. Here is my exciting announcement! I am gearing up to launch the PYP Leadership Academy! The PYP Leadership Academy is something I've been thinking about for at least two years and I will tell you that making this announcement public is terrifying me, but also exciting me because it's time. I'm being called to expand the PYP brand and message in a greater capacity. Those if you who have listened for awhile know my background is in formal education. I have a masters degree in teaching. I've won numerous awards for my instructional abilities and I consistently earn the highest reviews whenever I lead workshops. As I was telling somebody the other day, for whatever reason one of my superpowers is people just feel safe when they work with me. I have a quiet, calm and powerful energy that attracts people to me and you get a lot when you work with me. I've set up a special page for people to express your interest without committing to anything. Go over to http://pyppodcast.com/la where you can put your name and email address indicating your interest. You're not signing up for the program. This is for me to get a sense of the interest level out there. The PYP Leadership Academy Beta Program will focus on what I call fundamentals of success in life, business and career. I'm going to strip things down to the bare essentials and I'm doing this because I have discovered that basic fundamentals, basic principles of success are missing in society today. People want more and gaining a deep understanding of these fundamentals is a fantastic way to help you get to the point where you can honestly say, “This is the life I have always wanted.” This program will be 7 weeks. It will follow the format you hear on my show, Kick off Move the Chains and Touchdown. We will dive deep into a handful of success categories including technology, mindset, time, money and culture. I will have a curriculum that will include short reading assignments and podcast listening outside PYP -- some carefully selected episodes of shows that bring value to our coursework together. You will have access to a playbook that you'll get to download and use throughout the program. and probably the best thing about it will be the baked in accountability and community. This for those of you who are hungry to take your life, business and/or career to that next level. I'm limiting enrollment to 20 people so I can provide personal attention to everyone. It's going to be awesome! PYP Leadership Academy PYP Website Twitter
ARE YOU WORKING WITH A BULLY? Are you working with a bully? More than 25% of us are. If you aren't being bullied, chances are you have seen someone being abused by a supervisor or coworker. When we talk workplace bullying, we're talking more than some eye rolls or impatient words. Those can be off-putting, but when we talk bullying, we're talking about more than that. The eye rolls and the harsh words are often coupled with more verbal abuse, with non-verbal actions, with exclusionary actions, and they are used repeatedly. We're talking covert abuse along with overt actions perpetrated by someone who is doing it on purpose to targeted workers. Think you are the victim of workplace bullying? Gary Namie, PhD, is research director and one of the founders of the Workplace Bullying Institute. According to its website, "WBI is the first and only U.S. organization dedicated to the eradication of workplace bullying that combines help for individuals, research, books, public education, training for professionals-unions-employers, legislative advocacy, and consulting solutions for organizations. Tune in Saturday at 11 am Pacific time to hear what he has to say and to ask questions about workplace bullying and what you can do if you are targeted -- or what you should do if you are the bully. Call-in with your comments to (646) 378-0430. And if you miss the live program, you can go to the website and listen to all our archived programs whenever you like. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/3women3ways
Part II: Peace in the Face of Adversity Peace of mind is a luxury that many are living without. Targets of workplace bullying often suffer from emotional, mental and psychological injuries. According to the Workplace Bullying Institute, Targets of bullying have experienced the following Psychological-Emotional Injuries: Ø 80% Debilitating AnxietyØ 52% Panic Attacks Ø 49% Clinical Depression: new to person or exacerbated condition previously controlled Ø 30% Post-traumatic Stress (PTSD) from deliberate human-inflicted abuse As Christians in the market and workplace we know that Jesus is our peace. If we rest in his word, then we can have the peace of God that is promised regardless of our current hardships. Join me as I discuss the final piece of the Armor of God in Ephesians 6:15. This completes our two part series on “Taking a Stand Against #Workplace Bullying. The Bible states in Philippians 4:7, “And the #peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (KJV) Standing in God’s peace will put you on the path to overcome the attacks from bullying.
