"The one common denominator for resilient children is early intervention. It does work, and it seems to improve the prognosis." - Temple Grandin  "He who seeks to terrify others is more in fear himself". - Claudius Claudianus "Leadership is taking accountability yourself and holding others to the same standard, regardless of what's going on." - Jason Kelce #intervention #Resilience #accountability #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #change #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #consequence  Unless there is intervention, severe consequences, and changed behavior, bullying children become bullying adults where they continue to do what they learned to do best to get what they want—to terrorize others.

Most initial clients hired me to teach and assure their influencers were demonstrating healthy and effective management practices in compliance with safe workplace laws.   After 29 years of successful global service, it was ironic I was sued for elevating a reputable safety threat.   "A lawsuit can be a weapon." - Bari Weiss "Of all injustice, that which is greatest which goes under the name of law..." - Roger L'Estrange Babachanian #teachers #safety #motivation #justice #truth #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #honesty #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #democracy
