Summary: <p><strong>SAVE YOUR SANITY: HELP FOR HANDLING HIJACKALS®</strong></p><p><strong>with Rhoberta Shaler, PhD, The Relationship Help Doctor</strong></p><br><p><strong>8 STRONG STEPS TO HANDLE BULLIES AT WORK...AND, AT HOME. </strong></p><br><p><strong>You feel bullied. You see others being bullied. It's not right! </strong></p><br><p>Perhaps, you shy away. You sometimes take a day off to get away from the toxic environment.</p><br><p>You are <strong>ready to stop this nonsense</strong>, and today, I'm going to give you some solid steps, some strong steps, to understand the bully, and know what is in your power to do about it.</p><br><p>If this is a workplace bully, <strong>you may think that the bully should be management's problem</strong>. True, however, management may not be doing anything about it. After all, they don't have to work with this person every day, right? You do. So, you need to do something, too.</p><br><p>Bullies may or may not be Hijackals®, th<strong>ose relentlessly difficult, toxic people I talk about</strong> here. It is possible that <strong>the bully is just a truly scared person who leads with their anger to avoid appearing weak</strong>. There are possibilities to consider.</p><br><p>And, I've written a <strong>free ebook</strong> for you to find out. <strong>How To Spot A Hijackal. </strong><a href="https://hijackals.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Get it HERE</strong>.</a></p><br><p>A bully is afraid. It sounds strange, and it's true. A bully is afraid that s/he will not be taken seriously, noticed, or made important enough, so they take on the job themselves. They really back themselves into a corner while trying to corner you!</p><br><p>In today's episode, I'm talking about what to do when you have to work with--or manage--<strong>a bully, person who goes out of his or her way to intimidate others</strong>. You cannot have that if you are in management. Productivity suffers and no one wants to come to work.</p><br><p>You personally cannot let it just go, either. It will <strong>affect your health</strong> and well-being. You want to know the steps you can take<strong> to feel assertive and confident in the face of a bully</strong>. I know, that may not be where you want to step, but it's better than avoiding, cowering, or quitting, right?</p><br><p><strong>Notice what you are feeling when you hear those eight strong steps: </strong></p><p><br></p><ul> <li>Do I l<strong>ose my self-esteem</strong> around the bully? Am I just giving it away? That's a possibility.</li> <li>Can I now see that I am letting the bully take away my right to be myself and stand strong?</li> <li>Do I <strong>need more skills</strong> to stand strong and avoid a clash of wills. Facts are facts. Stick to them.</li> <li>What do I need to do--what self-talk do I need--to do things more positively with the bully?</li> <li>What difference would it make if I listened to the bully to find something I could agree with?</li> <li>Am I willing to work on my issues, and shore up my skills to be happier every day with my willingness to be assertive?</li> </ul><p><br></p><br><p>If you need help with this, I'm here for you.
