I'd like to introduce my colleague and friend
Keryl Egan. She has focused her consultancy to corporations
around her ground breaking research about corporate bullies
and the effect they have on others in an organization's
culture.
Keryl is sought after to personally intervene
as a coach with both bullies and to treat affected individuals.
She serves as a strategist to world class corporations
on how to discourage bullying behavior. I invite you
to look over Keryl's information and if you'd like further
dialogue you may wish to contact her directly. Keryl
is a welcome new addition to our expanding team of professionals
addressing issues within "corporate politics."

The Corporate Politics Coach
Keryl is a specialist consultant to organizations
in the areas of bullying and harassment, including political
bullying. She works both organisationally and
individually on the prevention of bullying and on the
change process when bullying has already occurred. This
includes organisational stress assessments, individual
coaching, 360º processes and teamwork for both
bullies and bullied.
Bullying is a serious workplace safety issue that affects
mental and physical health. Symptoms in targets
of bullying include
- Loss of confidence in abilities and judgment
- Withdrawal from friends and colleagues
- Fearfulness, insomnia and physical symptoms
- Inability to concentrate or make decisions, memory
loss
- Post traumatic Stress Syndrome with avoidance, numbing
and nightmares
- Severe depression and work-related suicide
Bullying often results from poor leadership
skills, particularly in the areas of emotional self
management, communication and political skills. To change
bullying behavioural problems, Keryl provides a customized
individual leadership program based on assessment of
capabilities in the following areas
- emotional intelligence
- communication skills
- conflict management and negotiation
- the constructive use of power, politics and influence
- leading teams through the adaptive challenge of
change programs
Keryl has worked with a range of organisations
within the public and private sectors including higher
education, health, the media, professional services
firms, not-for-profit organizations, manufacturing and
unions.
CASE STUDY
A newly acquired company within a large conglomerate
had not made a profit in ten years. An inter-state manager,
known for her capacity to effect a turnaround was transferred
to do the job. She found however, that her work and
capacity to deliver was impeded not only by a cynical
culture but also by political play at the group level.
Facing her first potential failure, she became frustrated
and aggressive. This lead to a bullying complaint against
her and the potential derailing of her career. Executive
coaching focused on the development of emotional intelligence
and communication skills as well as corporate political
mapping and strategies. She succeeded in presenting
her business dilemmas more persuasively, successfully
influencing senior management and listened more effectively
to staff. This ultimately lead to greater collaboration
and teamwork. The company recently made a 30% profit
and the manager has been offered promotion.
