I found this course very helpful. It helped clearly define what bullying is, gave examples of her behavior to help me spot when it's occurring, and provided concrete actions to take in making a difference in changing the culture of the organization. I especially appreciated the question exercise she walked through in how to correct a group who has normalized bullying behaviors.
