In Episode 3, Meredith and Megan talk about the first pillar of Empowered Communication: Enforcing Boundaries. Personal boundaries, like property boundaries, are the line where I end and someone else begins. Boundary violations happen when someone's actions come into our space. When we enforce our boundaries, it is about taking action that makes us safe and rewards us, even while another person may behave in abusive ways. We can try to stop the other person's behavior and be successful at that, but our safety and success has to come first. Learn more about what works and what doesn't work when we encounter abuse in the workplace in this episode.
