You accelerate in responsibilities and importance.

You enjoy a work-life balance that is actually balanced.

How do you handle a toxic boss?
You know the type. Their idea of leadership is to blame you and your team when things don't go as planned. They are a bully. One of my client's (Samantha) was dealing with a bully.
What was Samantha feeling?
-
Toxicity triggered her Imposter Syndrome.
-
She moved into a defensive "I have to prove myself" mode which undermined her authority and position.
-
She saw herself as helpless and ineffective.
-
Even when she calmly and diplomatically tried to deal with his management style, it became a heroic act of massive confrontation.
-
Totally confused as to the motivation behind the big boss' behaviors.
​
Samantha and I worked together to solve these issues.
-
Relaxation: We practiced active relaxation and stress-management strategies she could use in the moment.
-
Reframing: We used executive re-framing exercises to reverse her Imposter Syndrome feelings and generate new-found confidence and a clear articulation of her value rather than defend herself.
-
Strength not Weakness: We challenged the notion that she was helpless and reminded her her of the strength and capability that won her the role in the first place?
-
Conflict management:We practiced 3 critical conversation and conflict management communication scripts.
-
Root causes: We got down to the root of bully leadership and, using empathy, strategized around addressing her boss' anxiety rather than just labeling her as a bitch.
So what's next?
Have you faced something like this? \What did you do to free yourself?
​
Maybe you're that leader, but you don't know how to break the pattern or are ashamed to get the help you need.
​
Perhaps you are responsible to find the right training and coaches to help your executives become leaders that people like, respect, and stick with.
​
If you're looking to deal with toxcity in your work environment, or become a confident, powerful, effective, and happier leader (the kind of leader you want to be led by), we should talk.

Sessions with Steve are acceleration oriented. He is right there on the journey with me and sees the way to success even when I can’t see a thing. Yet somehow when I see that path, its like it I discovered it on my own. How does he do that?

Before working with Steve, I was paralyzed by indecision; torn between pursuing multiple interests, focus on a promotion, or do nothing. Instead of pushing me towards a particular path, Steve helped me uncover the 'thinking errors' holding me back. We worked on reframing negative thoughts, improving communication and eliminating toxic thinking. I developed the clarity to choose my best path.

Steve helped me to hone my presentation, communication and research skills. He helped me to take them to the next level, which resulted in my law firm achieving dramatically more impactful results from a year ago. Thank you Steve.
