Coaching for People Subject to Bullying Behaviour
An experience of workplace bullying can be devastating for those subject to it. Often one of the consequences of workplace bullying is that the person affected struggles to maintain their self-confidence and usual standard of work, and their performance level drops. These coaching programmes provide input, development and support for employees so they can de-toxify from the experience of bullying behaviour and move back towards performing effectively again. They can be a vital part in the re-establishment of the psychological contract between a valued employee and their employer after an experience of workplace bullying.
As a result of participating in their programme, each client can expect to:
- Identify the core, unchanging aspects of their personality, character and values as they apply to work.
- De-toxify from the experience of being subject to bullying behaviour in their workplace.
- Re-connect with their areas of strength, their self-belief, their core skills and their competencies.
- Understand the bullying dynamic they have been subject to, and learn how to respond effectively to it in future.
- Practise handling the most challenging bullying situations they experienced in a self-preserving and self-protective way in bespoke roleplays with professional actors taking the part of those responsible for using bullying behaviour.
- Find ways to assimilate their experience and return to their workplace ready and able to commit to their work and their employer once more.
Coaching for People Who Use Bullying Behaviour
These coaching programmes consist of tailored one-to-one development for employees whose style of handling themselves and their colleagues at work is consistently or occasional counter productive. As a result of participating in their programme, each client can expect to:
- Learn about their personality, character and values as they apply to work so increasing their self-awareness and self-knowledge.
- Recognise the conflict between how they think they behave at work and how they come across to others, where these are different.
- Understand the links between their intra-personal landscape and their use of bullying behaviour.
- Gain a clear understanding of what specific aspects of their behaviour constitute bullying methods and which do not.
- Understand what factors result in them resorting to overly robust methods.
- Practise replacing bullying behaviour with more effective inter-personal strategies, tools and techniques in tailor-made roleplays with professional actors which reflect the real-life situations in which they stepped over the line.
- Go back to work having assimilated a range of effective non-bullying people-handling skills and strategies for use in circumstances which they find most challenging and in which they might otherwise be tempted to use an overly robust approach.
