Abstract :

â�?�?Walk Away From Work Stressâ�? is an innovative online program helping targets of workplace bullying thrive when confronted by a narcissistic manager in a toxic workplace where they feel isolated and with nowhere to turn, unable to leave their jobs because of economic insecurity. Gary Namieâ�?�?s research tells us that the best, most competent employees are targeted and up to 70% quit, are relocated or fired whereas less than 13% of workplace bullies lose their jobs. Workplace bullying costs Australia $6 to $36 billion a year, a figure similar to other developed nations. Building resilience in our best employees is a way to protect, enhance and promote the psychological and economic wellbeing of our communities. The program covers four main areas: 1) Emotional mastery â�?�? how to reliably attain a calm centeredness, triumph over workplace trauma, reduce feelings of overwhelm and promote creativity and intuition; 2) Teflon self-esteem â�?�? how to set good boundaries with difficult people, tame the inner critic, enhance your value and become your own greatest ally; 3) Toxic boss whispering â�?�? effective communication strategies for dealing with difficult people, how to be more persuasive and diffuse rage attacks; 4) Beating financial stress â�?�? strategies for weathering a crisis, building a convincing legal case and finding a new job by effectively bypassing the traditional application process. This program is available to participants 24/7 and is comprised of online modules, a private Facebook community and weekly online mentoring sessions. The presentation will also report on participantsâ�?�? experience in the program.
