About Straight Talk

The conversations we hold with family and friends, colleagues and life partners do much to predict our success at work and the happiness and satisfaction we experience in our personal lives.
 
Some of our conversations help build stronger and deeper relationships, but others damage and destroy them. When we hold differing opinions and feel strongly about the issues, when we argue about rights and wrongs, and when the stakes are high; the skill with which we hold these conversations determines whether we come out stronger and closer or whether people get hurt and relationships suffer.  

•Talking to your mother-in-law about her interference in your marriage

•Speaking up to a toxic boss who is verbally abusive to you

•Saying no to a friend who takes advantage of you

•Confronting someone about their negative and depressing attitude
 
 

White Paper: Cyberbullying

  • Defining cyberbullying
  • Preventative measures
  • Signals you shouldn’t miss
  • What do you do when your child is being cyberbullied?
 
The term cyberbullying was first coined by Canadian educator and anti-bullying activist Bill Belsey, founder and president of Bullying.org and creator of http://www.cyberbullying.ca

Belsey defined cyberbullying as ‘the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group that is intended to harm others.’

It occurs via email, text messaging, instant messaging, posts to blogs, and Web sites. It may be as simple as continuing to send e-mail to someone who has said they want no further contact with the sender, but it may also include threats, sexual remarks, hate speech, and ganging up on victims by making them the subject of ridicule on social media sites, and posting statements aimed at humiliation.

Don't tolerate bullying

Physical bullying is more common amongst children; being pushed or having their hair pulled. Physical aggression is less often seen in the corporate world. Emotional bullying is more subtle but no less damaging. Child bullies exclude their targets from playing and talking with other children. In the extreme at work, it can become constructive dismissal.

Technosis - have you caught it?
It’s irritating when someone puts your call on hold to take one from someone else. It’s frustrating when you have to compete with TV, FB and e-mail for the attention of your friends and family. It’s offensive when friends at the dinner table send and receive calls and text messages: and it’s ridiculous when holding a meeting means having as many iPads around the table as people.

Are you tolerating bullies?
Bullying in schools seems to have reached epidemic proportions. In the business world where we often refer to it as harassment or toxic behaviour, it is just as common.

Setting personal boundaries - say no
When you have healthy personal boundaries you don’t tolerate abuse or disrespect: you’re not afraid to say no, and you don’t take on problems that belong to other people. You know who you are and you treat yourself and others with respect.

Good conversations: better relationships
While the technology with which we communicate is allowing us to do so both more quickly and more widely, our communication is becoming increasingly ineffective.
