Calling out bad behaviour at work can be tough. Even though behaviours such as bullying, sexual harassment, misogyny and discrimination can have a toxic effect on workplace culture – and the lives of individuals – it’s hard to be the first person to speak up. Self-doubt can creep in – and there’s often a nagging fear that you might be rejected by your peers for ‘over-reacting’ or being a ‘killjoy’. It’s also extremely common to be scared that ‘speaking up may backfire and blow up in my face’.

This short, interactive session is designed to:

• Give staff techniques to overcome self-doubt
• Explain the common psychological obstacles to intervening
• Introduce staff to decision making devices to help them work out whether – and how – to take action
• Run through easy-to-remember assertive language patterns to challenge bad behaviours in an assertive way

Includes body language and other non-verbal communication techniques to reinforce the spoken word
