Saying NO to a Bully at Work

Saying NO to a Bully at Work

Bullying is rife in the workforce and in relationships where one person attempts to dominate another person and creates a win/lose situation. That's where one person feels ok and the other person doesn't. Relationships are about mutual respect, trust and communication and creating win/win situations. Here are a few tips.

1. If you feel you Not OK, after a conversation you could be getting bullied
2. Analyse what's happened: eg. what is a misunderstanding, something not done or finished or something else.
3. If it is in your job description you probably need to do it.
4. Be willing to negotiate and compromise if appropriate to create a win/win solution.
5. Use assertive and professional communication to try to solve the problem
6. If it still doesn't get solved, decide on your next step. eg. Do you need to discuss it with a supportive and understanding person.
7. Honour your feelings (gut reaction or intuition) and if it does not feel right, or align to your values, don't do it.
8. Get more help if you need it
9. Stand in your own power and be proud to honour yourself.

Our Greatest Fear Poem - Made famous by Nelson Mandela

A poem  made famous by Nelson Mandela

 

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically, liberates others.

This poem is from the book the Course of Miracles written by Marianne Williamson.
