#30 Today we sit down with Stefanie Costi, a lawyer with a remarkable story of resilience and advocacy. Growing up in a big Greek family, Stefanie never imagined she'd face workplace bullying that would push her to the edge. From
the humiliating gum boots story to dealing with micromanagement and condescension, Stefanie shares her harrowing experiences that led to panic attacks and a journey of self-discovery.
Stefanie's voice couldn't be silenced. After writing an article for Lawyers Weekly and a LinkedIn post that reached 1.2 million people, she became an advocate for safer work environments. Hear how thousands of people reached out
to her for support and how she's helping others navigate the toxic waters of workplace bullying.
We delve into the Sunday scaries, the damaging effects of not being trusted, and how both men and women experience bullying differently. Stefanie also
discusses the impact of male role models on our professional and personal lives, and why confidence must come from within.
Listen to Stefanie's advice on documenting incidents, talking to mentors, and setting up meetings with HR. Plus, learn her number one strategy for handling workplace bullying and how to engineer your own exit strategy.
