    We've all seen it happen: the manager who knows nothing about the job, that one team member who drops the ball but gets promoted anyway. Nathan shares his frustration and is looking for a way through this craziness. His Girlfriend says he should put everyone on blast; his family thinks he should just leave, and his friends think he should report them. Overall, Nathan is confused and doesn't want to burn bridges.

  • Dealing with Bullying as an Adult

    We aren't kids anymore. Growing up, I'm sure we all have different experiences, but each day we are tested, pressed, and pushed; well, today, I want to talk about it. As always, share your experiences and ideas to keep the conversation flowing.

    Ways I have found to handle bullying as an adult.

    Head on - In the moment, speak up. Nip it in the bud, don't let the issue pass you. 

    Leveling- Find time to connect with the other person, ensuring you both have a safe space to share and highlight the what and why? Work on a path forward.

    Managing Energy- Start your day full of life and manage to who you give your energy.
