Ep 073: Beyond Bullying a Story of Triumph

Ever been bullied?

I don’t just mean in middle school by that kid who stole your lunch money. Yea, that happened to me.

I mean at work by your supervisor? Who then fired you?

Psychological safety suffers in a toxic work culture like this. And if it’s happened to you, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

S. Renee Smith, my guest on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast, had this very experience. Rather than get bitter, she got better. She evolved from that disastrous experience to launch an amazing career as a self-esteem, branding and communications expert, speaker, and certified professional coach. She’s worked with corporations such as Cigna, Bank of America, KeyBank, and Wal-Mart. She’s also the creator and presenter of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Senior Leadership Program, Powerful Leaders: Transform Your Personal Brand and Executive Presence. She was the first Honorary Command Chief at the Department of Defense’s largest aerial port, Dover Air Force Base.

Listen as S. Renee and I talk about:

🛡️ workplace bullying and her journey from bullying to thriving.

🌟 leadership influence and leadership’s critical role in shaping a positive work culture.

🗣️ conversational generosity and how to encourage meaningful, inclusive conversations at work.
