Review :
"Chock-full of personal stories, practical strategies, and priceless nuggets, this workbook will empower you to stand up to the bullies in your workplace. A must-read for anyone being taken advantage of by people in power." Jeff Riggenbach, Ph.D., International speaker/trainer/coach with the John Maxwell team "Dawn's knowledge and support helped me navigate a toxic work environment. After a year of passive-aggressive behavior, micromanaging, and verbal abuse I resigned the position. I owe Dawn a debt of gratitude for helping me realize no job is worth sacrificing your well-being. I now know what to do if I ever work in a toxic work environment again. Barb McKenzie, Ed.D., Behavioral Consultant We all deserve (and have the right) to work in a respectful workplace environment free from bullying, discrimination, and incivility. There is simply no place for these negative elements in the workplace. Unfortunately, however, not all workplaces live up to that ideal and the employees ultimately pay the price. Dawn walks us through what bullying in the workplace looks like-and carefully explains in plain and simple terms how bullying differs from discrimination and harassment. The workbook is chockful of useful templates, checklists, and samples that employees can use to advocate for themselves in difficult and uncomfortable situations. Having spent more than 30 years as a management-side employment lawyer, human resources executive, and champion for respectful and civil workplaces, I recommend Dawn's workbook and most heartily endorse it as required reading for anyone who feels that they are not being treated appropriately at work.
