The Workplace Targeting Playbook
Whether you're wondering if it's happening, in the middle of it, or making sure it never happens again.
You have more options than they want you to think. This free playbook lays out your possibilities, all of them, and how women in your exact position have used each one. You call the play. You stay in control.
Get the playbook
One read. Every option you've got. It opens the moment you enter your email, and a copy goes to your inbox so you've always got it.
Confidential. No credit card required.
By the end of one read, you'll know where you actually stand
You'll be able to tell targeting apart from self-doubt, which is the question that's been eating you.
You'll know what's already visible to your organization and what isn't.
And you'll know which of your four options protects your career, your income and your standing, and which one costs you all three.
The finding that surprised me most
When a woman responds to workplace bullying, what predicts how it ends isn't which path she takes. It's how visible she makes her response.
47%
of women whose response to workplace bullying was overt were involuntarily terminated within 12 months.
6%
of women whose response to workplace bullying was covert were terminated.
The women who actually got the person removed weren't the ones who reported loudly. They were the ones who worked under the radar.
That finding is the spine of this playbook.
Built for the situation you're in right now
If you're wondering, it shows you how to tell targeting apart from self-doubt, and what to put in place before anyone notices you're putting anything in place.
If it's already started, even if you've reported and the retaliation has begun, you're not out of options. Changing course partway through is a real move, and the playbook shows you what's still open to you.
If you're through it, you're still a high performer, and high performers get targeted again. This is the skill that makes sure the next one never gets this far.

Take it and use it
I've spent eight years on this. Everything you need to do this yourself is in the playbook, and I don't hold information back to sell it to you later.
If this is all you need, that's the right outcome.
You're not alone,
