Seven Things to Think About When It Comes to . . . How to Avoid and Address Sexual Misconduct in the Workplace

Last week, I shared one of my #MeToo stories. This week I want to share seven (7) common situations of sexual misconduct AND exactly what you can do to stop and possibly prevent sexual harassment from occurring. Whether it’s your boss, colleague, or client, workplace misconduct is NEVER OK, and even an unpaid intern has the power to hold people accountable for their actions in the office.   

The #MeToo movement has opened a floodgate. Stories from women (and men) of all ages, in every industry, and at every level of the organization facing sexual misconduct, harassment, and even sexual assault. Inappropriate workplace behavior is not a women’s issue – it affects men and women and therefore is an “everybody” issue. However, what surprises me most about the stories and the movement is not that these horrible things occurred but rather that we have ignored and looked the other way for so long.

The New Year is here. Chances are you’ve returned to work and are trying to get back into your routine. Sometimes it is the things that we say to ourselves that hold us back. Sometimes it’s the negative internal voice that is the monster under our bed – the only way to face it head on is to replace fear and negative thoughts with confidence and positive words. This week we’re sharing seven (7) great quotes to help keep you driven and motivated in 2018. 

Every year millions of people make resolutions. The average person will break or totally abandon these “special promises” by late March or April. This year approach the new year not by saying things you are GOING TO DO, instead focus on the things you are NOT going to do.
