Workplace toxicity
Let’s remember our humanness, our workplace responsibilities, and our compassion.
If you see someone struggling please check-in, support, and speak up.
Why do sensible, professional adults act like toddlers?
I am gobsmacked by defensive, angry people/adults in workplaces who are firmly set on ‘pay-back’ and revenge who could instead attempt to listen with compassion and empathy.
What do you do when you feel disrespected at work?
Once you have checked your perspective and gathered your facts, practice self-advocacy, approach the person and speak to them about how their behaviour is making you feel.
Remember that you have the right to be treated with respect and compassion.
Did you hear about Maggie?
Is gossip like an addiction that some find near impossible to quit?
Respect and Diversity
Our world will never stop being diverse, by investing in (and respecting) diversity and inclusion you are putting your best foot forward and staying ahead of the game.

Disrespect and bullying
How do you distinguish between disrespect and bullying? I don’t think you do – disrespect can easily form part (or possibly all) of a bullying complaint.
Integrity wins
Respect needs trust, trust needs respect and personal integrity should be at the forefront.
Water is to goldfish as culture is to ..?
Our cultural self helps to define our identity.
Who I am is influenced by my upbringing, my family, life experiences, education, relationships, work experiences, trauma, tragedy, successes and failures.
Respectfully, I disagree..
Conflict is healthy. So, a workplace conversation between parties that don't agree should be easy and comfortable — shouldn't it?
Duty of Care
There is NO time in any element of management, where it is ok to sacrifice your duty of care to your staff.
The privilege of respect
We assume that respect and empathy come easily to all of us and all we need is gentle reminders - but how true is that?
Toxic Workplaces
There is no easy fix, one size fits all branded initiative to carry this to the next stage - the next stage is within the organisation and takes work and commitment.
