Self Help: How to Neutralize the Office Bully (part 1)

If you have a colleague or boss who is aggressive, hostile, or demeaning at work, I recommend the "10% agreement" self-help technique.

Here's exactly what to say and do to neutralize the office bully.

Step 1. Immediately say the phrase, "Fair enough."

This suggests the person you are dealing with is a reasonable person, which calms him down.

Step 2. Find at least 10% of what the person is saying to agree with.

I've never known anyone to be 100% wrong. If you agree with him, this diffuses the situation. If you disagree with him, he'll become more entrenched in his position and more stubborn. It's just human nature.

Here's an example of Steps 1 and 2 together:

Client: "Lisa, this seminar sucks. Not only did you brush me off this morning when I tried to say Hello to you, but I'm not getting anything out of it."

Lisa: "Fair enough. Sometimes at the beginning of a seminar I'm a little preoccupied with getting the equipment set up and I'm not as good a listener as I should be. I'm sorry about that.

However, the most important problem seems to be that you feel as though you're wasting your time here."

Notice that I didn't agree that the seminar sucks. I agreed that I was a little pre-occupied and showed empathy for the fact that he is not enjoying the seminar.

I'll talk to you again soon.

Your friend,
Lisa B.

p.s. If you want the most direct path to success immediately using profound self-help methods, I recommend my 4 week private, intensive online course, "Catapult Yourself to Success Using Mental Toughness." Only 30 people will be allowed to join this select group.

As far as I'm concerned, this course is the very best way for you to realize your aspirations now. It is the culmination of several years of my personal research, trial and error, and refining success strategies.

I've taken knowledge from various fields...from research in sport psychology to the science of achievement...and combined it with my real-world experience working with top performers in business, sports, and the performing arts.

In this time, I've learned exactly what works and what does not work to maximize personal achievement. One of the most common things I hear about this program is, 'This training has completely changed my future!'

This course is the best of the best, and it comes with my 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you're not thrilled with it, just ask for a refund. No hassles.
