Dealing with different personalities at work is a reality; dealing with a bully is a more difficult matter. Learn how to identify hostility in the workplace and how to deal with the bully who is creating it at this webinar, Thursday, February 17, noon to 1:00 p.m. Be sure to register in advance. Register for the webinar on the NYS -Balance website. To participate, you will need an Internet-connected PC and a phone.

From the playground to the office, bullies are a fact of life. Learning how to deal with a bully can be an important lesson at any age. Whether it’s helping your child cope with schoolyard teasing, or confronting a co-worker who is trying to intimidate you, we can help you tame the bully in your neighborhood.
