Having a hard time convincing the CEO workplace bullying is a problem? Check out this webinar on Selling Change to the CEO

by Jan 14, 2016

In my own situation dealing with a workplace bully, I spent a lot of time trying to convince the Executive Director that the bullying was a real problem that needed to be solved. I was never successful in my endeavor, and the bully lived on while many people suffered. Now, as a consultant focused on workplace bullying, I often speak to human resources professionals who experience the same thing. They want to make a difference and solve the bullying, but they can’t get the C-Suite on board.

I’ve made it my mission to understand how to talk to the C-Suite about workplace bullying, and have shared what I’ve learned along the way here in this webinar.

Grab a pen and paper, a cup of coffee, and enjoy this one hour, ten minute webinar. Make sure to stay tuned to the end for some ideas on cheap ideas you can implement to start making a difference, and for my special offer!

Also download this Selling Change Worksheet to use as you sit down and have a strategic planning meeting with yourself about this conversation you will have with your C-Suite. The worksheet provides some things for you to understand about your C-Suite, and about the bullying, before you make your case.

Do you know how much money chronically bad behavior costs your company? Spoiler alert – it’s a LOT higher than you want it to be. Download our data and worksheet to see how it’s costing your organization and what you can do to fix it.
