"I hate injustice with a passion. And when it was happening to me, I thought — why is this happening? Am I doing something wrong? You start to wonder about your confidence, you start to wonder about your capabilities."
— Colleen McAvoy

Colleen McAvoy had a long, stable government career — until three narcissistic managers came in succession and changed everything. She started shaking. Her heart palpitated. She stopped sleeping. HR didn't help. The lawyer said it would take years. The organisation's own counselling service told her plainly: get out, this place has a bad reputation. So she left.

What followed is a story about what comes after — and what you can build when you stop tolerating what's tearing you apart. Colleen's book Bullies Begone offers tools, strategies, and a genuine blueprint for anyone navigating harassment or discrimination at work, whether they choose to stay and fight or leave and rebuild.

Raymond and Colleen cover the uncomfortable ground together: whether victims can unconsciously draw bullies toward them, why organisations often fail the people they're supposed to protect, and why walking away — far from giving up — can be the most powerful act of self-respect available.

The workplace bullying conversation nobody wants to have. Worth every minute.
