An amazing blog by our very own Charlie Hart and it got me thinking about my own experience of bullying, going way back when, at school. I remember year 7 being a horrendous time. My parents sent me to a school where I would have to travel 2 hours each way on a bus for an opportunity to get a better education. It had a grammar stream; however, was the other side of neighbouring borough and was filled with kids who would be dropped off in 4x4's. This was in 2002. I was bullied every day on the way to school and on the way home by a year 9 student. He would terrorise me on the bus to the point where the full top deck would be joining in, and it escalated to one day where he stole my phone from me and started shouting abuse at my mum on the other end. Then I'd get home and have to deal with my stepdad. Just before I left this school, my shoes were stolen during lunch and chucked over the fence. Everyone laughed and they were shouting "your mum won't be able to afford another pair. Go get em, Alan." The school's advice was that I should start late and finish early, to avoid the bully. My education had to be affected, which is quite a common occurrence. Mum refused and pulled me out of the school. I was left without any education for a further 6 months until I was finally enrolled into the school on my estate.   It toughened me up and shaped who I am today; however, it shouldn't have been that way. School was supposed to be my safe haven. It became that once I joined Abbey Wood, but during that period of bullying, it was a shared hell. We need to do more to ensure our children feel safe! #AntiBullyingWeek

In an exclusive article for Mix, speaker and HR consultant Charlie Hart discusses a devastating personal experience of bullying, and why compassion for others should be prized over ‘resilience’. https://lnkd.in/e6mhe3Xk #AntiBullyingWeek #workplacebullying #DEI Book Charlie as a speaker: https://lnkd.in/ecxM6A55

One of the things I love about my change of career direction is that after decades of feeling like too much, or not enough, I can now spread my wings and take up space. I absolutely loved performing in the Cabaret Night at the Professional Speaking Association's Speaking Business Summit 2024 🥰

"Do not obey in advance". Thank you Jak Matthews for this powerful yet poignant post. Allies, we ned to speak up, support loudly and show actively allyship. We can't be bystanders. #transawarenessweek #strongertogether

What an outstanding event we enjoyed yesterday at ProudHR! 🌈 A heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for an unforgettable evening with our inspiring speaker, Charlie Hart, who guided us through the journey of Intersecting Identities. We shared laughter, shed a few tears, and had countless questions about neurodiversity and queer identity, exploring how these intersect and evolve throughout our lives. Thank you, Charlie, for leading us on this journey—we've all gained invaluable insights. We were delighted to welcome over 60 attendees, including ProudHR friends, family, and some new faces, all enjoying quality time networking and getting to know each other. None of this would have been possible without our generous hosts, WHSmith, who provided their stunning office space with an impressive view and fabulous refreshments from their new Smith's Family Kitchen collection. Thank you to everyone who joined us in person and to those who supported us from afar. _______ ♻️ Repost to inspire others and spread the word about ProudHR ➕ Follow Charlie for more insights on neurodiversity and LGBTQIA+ inclusion _______ #ProudHR #Neurodiversity #LGBTQIA #CommunityEvent #WHSmith #InclusiveWorkplaces #NetworkingEvent
