What’s your first memory of being bullied? And is that same dynamic present in your life today?
In my view bullying is anytime someone tries to enforce power of you.
It’s a common thing for us to go through when we are young – being intimidated, teased or excluded.
But, I’ve been shocked to see the same dynamic played out in various scenarios in adulthood.
The same power-plays pop up in the corporate world, in a group of gossipy women “friends,” in relationships that under-cut your self-worth and dis-empower you, the list goes on and on…
The truth is bullying isn’t a topic that just applies to kids on the playground. It's a power dynamic that colors a lot of our interactions, is difficulty to deal with and can under-cut our feeling of self-worth.
Tune into this week’s episode to discover:
- How our childhood encounters with bullies color our interactions today
- Awareness exercise to identify the bully dynamic in any situation
- 3 tools to help you stop reacting, diffuse the situation and out-smart a bully in the heat of the moment
