Anti-Bullying Workshops

In todays fast paced and uncertain society, with stress levels at an all time high, it's no wonder that some people take their frustrations out on others. This can take place anywhere, in the street, in the home, at the workplace, absolutely anywhere.

Bullying can be verbal, as well as physical. There is also cyber bullying, which is done via email, text, Facebook, etc, or it can just be looking at someone in an intimidating way.

There are people that are afraid to leave their homes, some don't want to go home, and some don't want to go to work.

Bullying in the workplace is extremely common. I's not always the boss bullying the employees. Sometimes it's colleagues, staff from other departments who think that as they are on a higher wage band, that it gives them automatic rights, to belittle others on a lower wage band.

What effect does this have on the people that are being bullied? They have low self-esteem, lack of confidence, are frightened that if they report the person for bullying, they won't be believed, or may even lose thier job. The output and energy for their work will be very low, affecting performance and production, costing the company a lot of money. They will also go home, and may take it out on their partners/family, which the children may then go to school and take their frustrations out on other children. It goes on and on. What a complete mess!!!!

It doesn't have to be like this. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness!

With the Anti-Bullying workshops, staff will learn how to increase their self-esteem, stand up to the bully, rebuild their confidence, and become more productive in the workplace. They will also learn how to ignore the bully, agree with the bully, understanding the bully and how to identify a bully, in order to avoid becoming another of the bullys' victims. Body language techniques will be taught, those of the bully, and also those of victims, and also those of confident people who never get bullied. Also how a handshake will show you what type of person you are dealing with.

In some cases, the bullies don't even realise what they are doing, or the effect that they are having on their colleagues lives. With the Anti-Bullying workshop, these type of bullies will recognise what their actions are doing to others, and with guidance, know that what they are doing is wrong. This in turn, will improve their own lives.

The Anti-Bullying workshop is not full of do's and don'ts, which bores the pants off of those taking part. Instead it is full of exciting, informative content, with interactive roleplay, that changes peoples' life for the better, and increases work productivity.

Workshops can be tailored in anyway, to suit your company.

Calming, Stress Relief Hypnosis, and Self-Defence can be added to the Anti-Bullying workshop.
