Sharing your workplace bullying doesn't just help other targets understand they're not alone when it's published. It helps you heal, even if you burn it afterwards. In this episode, I talk about why writing out your story helps you and other targets and how to construct your story for bloggers or reporters in 1-2 pages, including:

Where’d you work? What did you do?

How did the bullying begin? What tactics were used? How’d it escalate?

How did you feel?

How did your employer react (or not react)?

What was the impact on you?

What was the impact on the organization?

Why do you want workplace bullying legislation to pass?

What advice do you have for others going through bullying at work?
