Welcome from Dr. Rita Thornton

QUESTION: If you see the devastating effects of emotional conflict, Abuse, and Adult Bullying in the Workplace, and then you are given an opportunity to respond and quickly change it into a healthy work environment for you and other employees  ….Would you?

Dr. Rita Thornton, J.D., Ed.S., Ph.D. uses a new transformational leadership style and her Emotional Intelligence (EI) skills to help educate female team leaders who want to make a change in how they respond to emotional conflict and workplace bullying to prioritize the well-being and personal safety for themselves and their team members so everyone feels uplifted and inspired to thrive on productivity that supports DEI efforts.

The Power of Uplifting Others becomes a WIN WIN! … a catalyst for mutual success

Hearts Ignited with a Passion to educate women leaders about how to make a change in responding to emotional conflict and bullying in the workplace …post COVID

Using a new 3-Point CORE Approach involving:

1). A female team leader who wants to make a change in how she manages emotional conflict and workplace bullying so that she has the knowledge and confidence to create her own “safe space” and healthy work environment in real time without having to rely on other people to create a healthy workplace for her and her team members

2). Looking at the “speed” at which the conflict and workplace bullying problem is solved

3). A new leadership style that focuses on … a). shaping the “culture” around a female leader who is managing a diverse group of men and women team members; and b). responding quickly in a way that uplifts her team by ensuring them She HEARS them, She SEES them, and what They SAY matters. In other words, whenever conflict and workplace bullying occurs, there is an immediate need for the female team leader to respond in a proactive way that protects her and her diverse team so all members of the workforce feel safe and are able to continue to work in a healthy work environment.  

With Dr. Rita’s 20+ years of results-oriented leadership experience and her Emotional Intelligence (EI) expertise as an educator, project manager, CEO, female leader, college professor, and survivor of narcissistic abuse, she has created a Spiritual Survival Guidebook and an 8-week virtual Emotional Intelligence (EI) Leadership Certification Course. The Survival Guidebook and EI Certification Course are both designed to provide the knowledge and skill-set necessary to be certified in Discernment and Emotional Intelligence Assessment skills so that when the knowledge and skills are applied, the female leader/project manager can quickly identify the source of the conflict, complete an Emotional Intelligence Assessment by using her Discernment skills as she documents the Bad Behavior/Abuse/Bullying in real time.  This unique leadership style allows less time and money to be spent on 3rd party investigations. Being able to quickly detect and correct the Bad Behavior/Abuse/Bullying in real time with quick meaningful consequences for that Bad Behavior will lower business expenses associated with workplace bullying, increase morale and the organization’s productivity while at the same time, provide a positive business climate, a safe space, and healthy work environment for all employees including the female leader/project manager.

Something that she had to do for herself, she has now coached a few other female leaders/ project managers who were experiencing emotional conflict and workplace bullying; and they too got the same amazing results in record time. So, these female leaders told Dr. Rita that she should not keep this unique leadership style to herself, but she should share it with the world!

+Dr. Thornton was inspired to write this Guidebook and create the EI Certification Course based on a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “Use me, God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what I can do, and use it for a purpose greater than myself.”

Experience FREEDOM & The Agape Love of Our Trinity God - He is the only Way, the Truth, and the Life… John 14:6

This is a Spiritual Weaponsmith-Guidebook for female leaders. This Guidebook is designed to show female leaders the Way to take a stand against workplace narcissistic abuse that is the silent killer, which seeks to steal, kill, and destroy the emotional freedom and mental thoughts of safety within the Soul of any abused employee in today’s work environment:.

8-Week Emotional Intelligence Leadership Certification Course

8-Week Live Virtual Emotional Intelligence (EI) Leadership Certification Course for female leaders and project managers who are experiencing or have experienced emotional conflict and workplace bullying

      A Social Change with a Leadership Gain!

It’s all about the SPEED at which you detect the conflict and correct the Bad Behavior /Abuse/Bullying in the workplace. With a rise in violence post COVID, up to 87% of females are subjected to workplace bullying/abuse (Springer Link-2021).  At a cost of $125,000 per traumatized employee, the faster female leaders detect the conflict and correct the Bad Behavior in the workplace in real time, the more uplifting all of the employees become.  When a female leader/project manager becomes certified to use her EI skills, a single business’ financial costs per traumatized employee would decrease while at the same time uplifting the employees of that business…a WIN WIN!  So, the power of uplifting others becomes a catalyst for mutual success. Become a certified EI female leader who prioritizes the well-being and personal safety of all of her team members so they have a “safe space” that allows them to be an inclusive workforce thriving on innovation and productivity.

Did you know Bad Behavior/workplace misconduct cost US Businesses $20.2 billion (Forbes & Vault Platform -2021)

One (1) Bully costs a single business up to $125,000 per year per traumatized employee because one (1) Bully …

  • Lowers morale*
  • Lowers productivity – ($2.6 billion in lost productivity) 
  • Increases number of employees traumatized by Bad Behavior 
  • Increases costs due to HR 3rd party Investigations – (up to 9 months to resolve each Bullying case with a cost between $75,000 - $125,00 per traumatized employee) 
  • Increases Turnover Rates* 

*  Poor Workplace Morale = High Turnover Rate costing a business up to 50% of an employee’s yearly salary

Dr. Thornton has created a unique leadership style and high-level integrity coaching approach that really works because it quickly gets and retains results in real time by introducing social change within a diverse and inclusive work environment …Post COVID.

Each week she will teach, train, and coach female leaders/project managers to know how to turn the Gift of Discernment into a learned skill which uses Emotional Intelligence Assessments to quickly recognize/detect and correct Bad Behavior in the workplace so that all employees feel safe and become an empowered workforce thriving on innovation and productivity.  This quick meaningful response to conflict and Bad Behavior in real time will decrease the amount of time and money spent on 3rd party investigations while at the same time increase morale and the organization’s productivity. Having an increase in productivity clearly shows that there is a positive business climate and new company “culture” that prioritizes the well-being and personal safety of all of its employees. 

Dr. Rita will use her 20+ years of results-oriented leadership experience and Emotional Intelligence (EI) expertise to personally Coach all attendees through this 8-week EI  Leadership Certification Course. The EI Course offers weekly fun-filled Workshops and Exercises for the female leaders/project managers to practice Discernment and Emotional Intelligence skills so that upon their completion of the Course, the female leader/project manager becomes officially certified to address any emotional conflict and “social” misconduct problem in the workplace by conducting an EI Assessment.
