Professional Coaching Specializing in Recovering from Toxic Workplace Behaviors
Have you been the target of a workplace oppressor? I help targets of workplace bullying, aggression, and intimidation regain their confidence through encouragement, empathy, and renewed self-awareness. I focus mainly on the experiences of executive Black women as we have unique needs that need addressing in today’s workforce.
Have people reported that a member of your team demonstrates bullying behaviors when you believe that they are just a tough leader? I also work with organizational leaders to promote psychological safety and prevent toxic cultures in the workplace.
Why do I do it?
I know the impact of bullying on people and on companies. I’ve witnessed it, experienced it, reported it, fought against it, got punished for it, and sadly, even participated in it. All these experiences have negatively impacted targets both psychologically and physically. Yet, targets blame themselves and internalize the pain leading to isolation and self-doubt. I never want a target to ever feel alone, but to learn and grow from the experience.
CARE Values
Compassion
Your situation and feelings will be of the utmost importance. While some definitions will imply that pity is part of compassion, you won’t get that from me. Pity is not what you need. Understanding is what you need, and I will listen so that you are heard fully and understood!
Accountability
We will share responsibility for your growth and recovery. I will provide you with the ear, tools, exercises, and coaching that can best serve you and you will be responsible for executing them. It will be hard – even the first step can be emotional and scary, but even taking this first step in working together means that you are willing to move towards a future, positive step!
Respect
This is both a noun and a verb. You are deeply admired for considering taking a step to move away from toxicity. You will be treated with consideration, thoughtfulness, and the attention needed to help you move forward.
Empathy
Similar to showing compassion, I deeply feel what you have experienced – as an employee, as a leader, as an individual, and as a family member. Remember, toxicity doesn’t just impact you while you are engaged in work. It encompasses you as an entire being. We will focus on the entire you – not just the you at work, but the you at home, the you while you are sleeping, and the you that is simply being.
Bring A New Experience
What do you need to build a great team, a positive work experience for all employees, where employees are motivated to give it their all, feel like they’re making a difference, while satisfying the company’s mission and their own?
