How far is too far? Talking about boundaries.

from Het Betere Werk Hosted by Ugent

You might have heard the phrase: ‘It’s just the way things work over here’. But does it have to be this way? This episode highlights the different aspects of the umbrella term transgressive behaviour. Together with Scott Solder we talk about boundaries and what happens when someone crosses them. Tips are given on how to let someone know that whatever they have said has landed badly. During the episode we highlight the concept of an active bystander, power dynamics and the process of normalization. Scott emphasizes that we don’t have to start walking on eggshells, but that having an open dialogue about what is acceptable behaviour nevertheless is crucial. Scott Solder As one of the founders of The Active Bystander Training Company, Scott delivers training and appears at conferences and events demonstrating psychological and assertiveness techniques which are highly effective in challenging unacceptable behaviours. Scott is a former Editor at BBC News and Current Affairs and a specialist in language, influence and persuasion.
