Professional Coaching for Managers



When bullying strikes, there is no one within most organizations to which the professional manager can turn.

That's why we are here. For you.

Coachable Professional Dilemmas:



  • • you are accused of being a perpetrator

  • • the favorite employee you supervise is accused of bullying

  • • two or more employees on your team have long-standing disputes, with one having more leverage over the other

  • • you personally witness peers bullying their staff or your staff

  • • you are being targeted for persecution by people above or below you in the organization


    • You need pragmatic advice about what to do. And it's not conflict, so forget those tools. You need our expertise in bullying. Good managers know that no one requires intimidation, humiliation or domination to accomplish great work. In fact, those tactics are antithetical to efficient, meaningful work that makes employees proud to work at your company, institution, agency or ministry.


    We wrote the book, The Bully-Free Workplace, and produced the video training -- Workplace Bullying: A Primer for Managers to overcome the knowledge gap.


    Personal coaching is an additional tool in a manager's education on the topic. Only by attending WB University could more information be gleaned.

    We created the consulting specialization for Workplace Bullying and understand it better than anyone else. We are in-the-trenches practitioners who don't look at the phenomenon through rose-colored lenses. We call bullying the violence it is. It is destructive and unconscionable.
