I Stopped My Bully, and You Should Too. | Episode 102

Have you ever felt powerless against the invisible monster of workplace bullying? Today, we sit down with Jessica Hickman, founder of Bullyology and author of "The Upstander Leader" and "The Bullyologist: Breaking the Science on Bullying," to confront this monster head-on. Hailing from Orange, New South Wales, Australia, Jessica has turned her three-year battle with workplace bullying into a global mission to encourage leaders to foster a speak-up culture and combat bullying. Her powerful story brings to life the damaging effects of the bystander effect and workplace violence.

Join us as we walk through the labyrinth of workplace bullying, exploring its various forms and the physical and mental health impacts it can have. Jessica emphasizes the importance of self-preservation and education, providing strategies for self-protection in a hostile workplace. She takes us through her insightful five L's strategy, teaching us how to transform from being a silent bystander to a proactive upstander. From discussing proactive conversations in organizations to highlighting the need for sustainable change, this episode is a must-listen for anyone facing adversity in their workplace.

We also journey with Jessica as she shares her experience of discovering her purpose and passion, and turning it into a successful business. She underscores the importance of understanding your worth and setting boundaries to protect yourself from unnecessary suffering. We delve into the long-term process of building a purpose-driven career and navigating change. As we wrap up the episode, we highlight the power of diverse voices in creating meaningful change. Jessica's story is a testament to the strength and resilience of individuals in the face of adversity and a call to action for everyone to speak up and be heard.
