Bonnie's Background
Let Bonnie guide your listeners to address abrasive leadership behavior, retain valued employees, and improve morale.
Early in my career I worked in a dysfunctional workplace. It was the norm rather than the exception for the executive leadership team to turn a blind eye to high-performing leader's angry outbursts, condescending comments, and public humiliation.
Rather than leaving, I chose to stay. The experience along with the guidance of a wise mentor gave me life lessons to navigate the dysfunctional landmines that have stayed with me throughout my life. Little did I know then how that experience would be the catalyst for my work today of coaching leaders at top companies to replace abrasive behaviors with emotional intelligence skills.
