Stressed and anxious about your work?

Plenty of people are, and the workload is usually only part of it. The rest is leadership. Bosses change, priorities get rewritten every few months, and nobody asks the people doing the work what would make it better. I know because I've been there. I was well respected in my team until new leaders arrived, and then came the yelling, deadlines nobody could meet, and information I needed kept from me.

I stayed calm and focused on what I could control, and it made me more resilient. It also made me curious about how to protect myself and grow from it. I can't fix your boss. What I can do is help you work out how you respond, where your boundaries sit, and how much of the day you bring home.

Your first hour with me is free, and I won't pitch you at the end of it. workplace-coach.com

What would make work easier for you right now?

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗰?

I keep landing on the same answer: leadership.

I was well respected and valued in my team until new leaders arrived. Then I was yelled at, given deadlines nobody could meet, asked to do things that weren't possible, and singled out from my colleagues. Information I needed for my job was kept from me, and they tried to damage a reputation I'd earned. It was more than one manager, and a director too.

None of them ever sat down with me to explain what they wanted to achieve or how I fit into it. Nothing about me had changed. The leadership had.

I stayed calm and focused on what I could control. Then I got curious about what had happened, and why it hit me the way it did. That took me into understanding myself, and into learning how to protect myself and grow from it.

I don't think I'm the exception. Too few leaders get to know their people, work out what each one is good at, or give them a reason to care about what the organisation is trying to do.

So people do their nine to five and go home. I don't blame them. If nobody's shown you why more would matter, why give more?

You probably can't change that from where you sit. You can work out what is yours to change, and that's what I help with. First hour's free: workplace-coach.com

Have you ever worked for someone who really knew their team? What did they do?

𝟳𝟰𝟱,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀.

That's how many deaths from stroke and heart disease WHO and ILO attributed to working 55 or
more hours a week, in their most recent estimate (2016 reference year).

It isn't an isolated number. Gallup's 2026 global workplace data puts employee engagement at
just 20%. And separately, WHO estimates that 12 billion working days are lost every year to
depression and anxiety, costing the global economy around US$1 trillion annually.

That doesn't prove toxic workplaces alone cause any of it. What it does show is that whatever
you've been carrying at work, you're nowhere near alone in carrying it, and it's happening at a
scale most of us never hear quoted out loud.

Here's the part that's actually yours to work with. You likely can't change the hours a
workplace demands or the culture around you overnight. What you can build is how much of it
you carry home, how well you sleep despite it, and how much room it takes up in your head.

That's the work I do with people. Not walking away from the job. Getting your footing back
inside it.

"𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁." You've probably heard some version of that line in a meeting, usually from someone a few pay grades above you.

Here's the part that doesn't get said out loud afterwards: if that's true, changing a toxic culture is one of the hardest, slowest, most expensive things an organisation can attempt.

Most that try it don't finish. The ones that do, take years.

Which leaves an honest question. Do you wait for that unlikely thing to happen, while it keeps a hand on your sleep, your well-being, your evenings, and how you feel walking in the door on a Monday?

You can't make a culture change on your timeline. What you can do is stop handing it quite so much power over your week while you wait.

You're not giving up on the problem by doing that. You're just refusing to let it be the only thing in the room with any say over you.

Learn how to hold your ground inside a culture that isn't changing fast, if at all. The first conversation is free. No judgement. No pitch.

What's the most "culture eats strategy for breakfast" moment you've sat through?

02/10/2026

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀. 𝗜𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀.

It's the impossible deadline, the cold shoulder, the "joke" that isn't one. Each thing small enough to explain away — until you're lying awake at 2am wondering if it's just you.

It's not just you. In Australia around half of workers report experiencing it. And it does real damage: it quietly chips away at your confidence until you barely recognise yourself.

I know that erosion first-hand. What I also know is that it can be reversed — with the right support, you can reconnect with your own strength instead of your inner critic.

If this is your world right now, a full hour, free and completely confidential, is there whenever you want it.

If you've been through it: what finally made you realise it wasn't you? 👇

"𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀."

Nobody is quite sure who first said that. It applies to a bad workplace anyway.

Because the hardest part of a toxic workplace is not the behaviour. It is the waiting. Waiting for someone to notice. Waiting for HR to act. Waiting for the restructure, the new manager, the moment it quietly sorts itself out.

I wrote a fortnight ago that toxic cultures resist change. They do. Which leaves a question that sounds bleak and is actually the opposite. If they are 𝗻𝗼𝘁 going to change, what can I do?

Here is what I do not mean by that.

I do not mean hand in your notice. I do not mean a formal complaint, or a confrontation, or blowing up a career you have spent decades building.

I mean something that sounds smaller and turns out to be bigger. Taking action for yourself.

You cannot control how a difficult colleague behaves on a Tuesday. That is not yours and it never was. What you can change is how much of you it takes with it.

There is a line between the things you can do something about and the things you cannot, and almost all of the exhaustion comes from spending yourself on the wrong side of it.

That work is real, and it is more ordinary than it sounds.

Getting your sleep back.
Knowing what you will accept and what you will not, and saying so once, calmly.
Putting things in your week that have nothing to do with work, and protecting them.
Building enough steadiness that Sunday night stops belonging to Monday.
Finding your way back to a bit of peace. Then a bit of calm. Then, eventually, joy, which is usually the last one to return and the one you notice most.

None of that changes them. All of it changes what they cost you.

I spent a long time waiting for my own workplace to change. The day things actually shifted was not the day it improved. It was the day I stopped waiting and started working on the only part I could reach.

Workplace toxic? Take action. For yourself.

I𝘁'𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱. 😐

Not Monday morning. Sunday. Somewhere after lunch the week ahead arrives early and takes the rest of the day with it. You are still at home, still technically off, and you have already left.

Most people around you will call that normal. A lot of them feel it too. That is exactly why nobody examines it.

Here is the part worth saying out loud. You lose one day in seven this way. Over a year that is a month and a half of your own life spent bracing for something that has not happened yet.

I am not going to tell you the answer is a new job. Sometimes it is, often it is not, and either way that decision is months away and this Sunday is today.

What actually changes it is closer in. Knowing exactly what you are dreading, because "work" is never the real answer. Knowing what you will and will not accept on Monday. Learning to put the week down when you walk out on Friday, which is a skill and not a personality trait.

I have had those Sundays. More than a few. The one that mattered was not the Sunday the job improved. It was the Sunday I worked out what I was actually bracing for.

If your Sunday has already gone, let's talk about it. A full hour, free, with someone who has been there. No judgement. No pitch.

𝗧𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗰 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲.

That isn't cynicism, it's just how they work. The toxic behaviour is rewarded and continues, the people who benefit from it are usually the ones with the power to change it, and everybody else learns to keep their head down. That's a system holding itself in place.

Which is why waiting for it to improve is such an expensive plan. No end date, and you pay for it the whole time. Sleep first. Then confidence. Then the version of you that walks in the door at home. Your wellbeing suffers.

So the useful question was never how do I fix them.

It's what can I protect, and what can I actually learn to do differently in here.

That part is real and it's teachable. What you'll accept and what you won't. How to say it once, calmly, without apologising for it. How to stop carrying their behaviour home on a Friday night.

I've been on the receiving end of it more than once. The day that mattered wasn't the day the workplace improved. It was the day I stopped waiting for it to.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗰. 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁?

You've seen the posts about what defines a toxic workplace. You've read the lists. You know you're working in one. It sucks, and it just doesn't feel right.

So what do you actually do?

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂. 𝗜𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘀.

And then the harder part. If your workplace is toxic, and they don't treat you the way they should, the chances are they won't change. Toxic cultures are among the hardest things on earth to shift. Meanwhile you're the one paying for it, and often your family is paying for it too.

That's why the question worth asking isn't how do I fix them. It's what can I do to protect myself, and how do I become more resilient to this.

I've been there. More than once.

There are options. Ways to protect yourself and to learn to hold your ground in a workplace that isn't going to change for you.

If you want to talk it through, the first conversation is free. No judgement. No pitch. Just a conversation.

𝗧𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗰 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗸!

There, someone said it.

The shouting. The manager who suddenly can't see what is happening in front of them. The colleague who talks about you rather than to you. The thoughts about Monday that can ruin your weekend.

Here is what I have learned, both from my own time in one of these places and from the people I work with now.

You probably cannot change them. You can change how much of them you carry.

That is not resignation, and it is not putting up with it. It is deciding that someone else's behaviour does not get to run your sleep, your confidence and your weekends.

Learn what you can do about it. The first conversation is free.
