Everyone has a story about culture. A friend told me why she left her recent role as a senior researcher, she loved the ‘work’ but left because of the culture, couldn’t handle it anymore. She stopped dead in her tracks, turned and looked at me and said ‘it’s everything isn’t it?!’

Seriously, it isn’t. But it takes absolute authenticity, determination and a plan. I am an ex-employment and safety lawyer. I have worked on literally hundreds of cases in the workplace bullying and sexual harassment space over the past 17 years in Australia and the UK, as either a lawyer, consultant, advisor or investigator.
