How to deal with Steamrollers, Bullies and Autocrats

Do you have a bully in your life?  Someone who interrupts you constantly and makes you feel terrible. These Toxic People are called steamrollers and can also be known as exploders, dominators, tyrants, dictators, bullies, autocrats, oppressors, persecutors, or tormenters. We have all had a few of these in our lives as a parent, boss, colleague, or friend.  They are not much fun to be around and create stress in our lives.

Problem: Your anger allows this behavior to continue because you’ve tried everything.

Solution: Take personal responsibility for changing the outcome with these toxic people by learning more about them.

The Ugly Relative can create an Unhappy Holiday

Christmas, Holidays and New Years should be a joyous time of year.  Instead for many it is a time of troubled relationships, ugly relatives and conflict.  Dig deep inside of your self leadership and prove to yourself that you are in control and don’t have to be sucked into toxic behavior. Take personal responsibility for your Holiday Happiness – and de-stress it for everyone!

I, Marsha Petrie Sue, plan to stay above the issues that can come up especially with a step family.  I will not allow my petty behavioral issues get in the way of a happy Christmas.  There is an issue on the table right now that I will NOT address until December 26.
