Are you in a toxic situation with a team, a person or in a company culture right now?

If you are, then you are not alone.

Research shows that one in ten people are actually experiencing a toxic situation at work right now.

And we've both been there and I think it often happens more than once in your squiggly career.

It's one of those really knotty moments where it will leave you feeling drained and exhausted and just so depleted.

It is such a tough time.

And so today we're going to talk about how can you cope and stay confident if that's where you are right now?

We know that for most people, it's not an option to just leave.

Like for most of us, when this happens, if we could walk away straight away, that's probably

what we would do.

But typically there is a bit of a transition time between kind of where you are today and

making that happen.

So we hope we'll be able to help with like what

you might do in the here and now. So we're going to talk about three areas. Minimisers,

energisers and protectors. So let's start with minimisers. Minimisers are we're trying to sort of

take away some of the impact of what is a very hard situation. Number one, look for some light

relief. And we don't want to be flippant about this, but just something that is going to make

you smile, listen to some comedy podcasts, that friend, when you have a coffee with them, you

always come away and you just, you know, like, they kind of, you feel a bit more uplifted and

you feel just a bit better because of it.

So can you take your lunch breaks more diligently?

Anything like that that's just going to give you that kind of moment of feeling a bit better in your day.
