    Love how you wrote your (BIO) very detailed, you have a lots to offer the world. May God Bless you and your work that he is doing through you.

    • You have been on your way for some time, keep moving, DAD

    • Sometimes bullying comes in rpguos. When individuals bond together in a department and single out others, that is just as much mental abuse as it is being a group of bullies. But one thing always tends to be true. There is always a ring leader. Identifying the individual who is provoking others to behave in a way that causes others in the team to feel singled out often squelches the behavior of the team. This often involves invidual conversations with the ring leader, sharing the behavior you have seen and then carefully documenting the conversation. The ring leader then does one of three things: they go to their click and share they just got in trouble in an attempt to rally the troops; they begin thinking of ways to get out or in some rare instances, they cease their behavior. In my experience, when the ring leader is called out on their behavior, they first begin by stiring up the team, but when it is continually brought to their attention and they are given opportunities to change, they tend to leave and take their stir stick with them.We are very encouraging in our attempts to make our negative folks realize they are what they are percieved to be. Getting them to accept and change their ways isn’t always easy, especially when they have a cheering squad behind them.

  2. Kendall, nice About page! Sorry about the OCU thing ;) – I went to OBU (was on the basketball team one year) back in the late 70′s. Yes, I’m old!

    • HAHAHA, OBU has its strong moments. I know about a few weeks ago they whooped OC. LOL.

      • My experiences have been nmaily in the classroom which is not all that different from the workplace except that the participants (students) come and go each term and do not stay on for long periods of time. However, classroom management of distruptive behavior is similar to other areas. I hope this example from a different perspective will be helpful. Note: Most of my graduate students are not young. They are adults, many with families and jobs, so the disruptive behavior is not just acting out by teens.Distruptive behavior distracts students from learning and creates an environment of wasting time. In my experience, many of the students who are disruptive have a basic hostility or insecurity to having to take this course. Research and statistics are considered to be difficult for many students. In other words, they don’t want to be there and fear failure.In the group environment where I am trying to conduct class, I will often stop talking and look at the disruptive person(s). Silence follows and then I proceed. My next move is to ask the problem student during a break and aside from others, to talk to me privately after class. I acknowledge the behavior excessive talking, laughing, eye rolling, etc. and express that it is inappropriate and interferes with student learning. Most of the time this will help to modify the behavior. If it does not, I have another conference and tell the student that if the behavior continues, I will report it to the Dean for further action.I am careful to document every conference time, place, communication, etc. If the disruption stops, I forget it and don’t put a record in the student’s file. If it does not stop, I follow through and report it and put documentation in the file.
