“A calling to bring your values to life and inspire change.”

Empowerment Against Toxic Work Environments

My mission is to empower you to navigate and overcome toxic work environments with resilience, insight, and confidence. I am committed to providing you with actionable strategies, emotional support, and professional guidance through my content, helping you reclaim your well-being and thrive in your career. In addition to my Breaking Free from Toxic Leadership (co-authored with psychotherapist and coach Claudia Schwinghammer) I maintain this website and blog to provide a continuous stream of resources, insights, and community support that extends beyond the pages of the book.

I believe that everyone deserves a healthy, respectful, and inspiring workplace. Through honest dialogue, practical advice, and sharing real-life experiences, I strive to shed light on the challenges of toxic leadership and offer you the tools to transform your work life for the better.

My goal is to create a community where you feel heard, supported, and equipped to face the complexities of modern workplace dynamics. Together, we can overcome toxic work environments and build a future where leadership is a force for good.

How You Can Be a Part of This Mission

I believe that meaningful change is achieved when we come together as a community. Your experiences, insights, and support are invaluable in our shared journey to overcoming toxic work environments. Here’s how you can actively participate in this mission:

  • Engage with the Content: Dive into the articles, resources, and tools provided on this website and blog. Share your thoughts in the comments, ask questions, and engage in discussions with other readers. Your voice matters, and your experiences can help others who are facing similar challenges.
  • Share Your Story: If you’ve navigated a toxic work environment or have insights that could help others, consider sharing your story. Whether through a guest blog post or a comment, your experience could be the beacon of hope and guidance someone else needs.
  • Connect on Social Media: Follow me on social media for regular updates, tips, and community discussions. Share the content that resonates with you, and help spread the word to others who may benefit from the support and advice offered here.
  • Support the Mission: If you find value in the content and resources provided, consider supporting the mission by sharing this website with your network, recommending Breaking Free from Toxic Leadership to colleagues or friends, or contributing to the development of new resources.

Together, I hope we can build a community that not only resists toxic leadership but also fosters environments where respect, integrity, and positive leadership thrive. Your participation is essential to this mission, and I’m excited to have you as part of this journey.
