Our human natures long for, and ultimately crave, acceptance. As social creatures, most of us fear rejection like school children fear catching ‘cooties.’ If you’re anything like me, you may subconsciously consult this fear before making big moves in your life, such as agreeing to speak in public or considering a new job opportunity.
More and research is revealing that bullying doesn’t just occur on school grounds anymore. According to The Workplace Bullying Institute, up to
one-third of employees
may be victims of workplace abuse. Further research from Stanford University suggests that
productivity could decline up to 40%
when workers become targeted and subsequently victimized by bullies on the job.
