</center>Once again I must send out my deepest thanks to the wonderful Catherine Mattice who recently posted a new, exclusive article explaining how to program healthy communication habits of today for situations of verbal conflict tomorrow using techniques of NLP. <em>(You can find it on both her website and her blog!)</em></p>
<p>For anyone who doesn&#8217;t know yet, Catherine Mattice is the expert on workplace bullying who wrote the foreword for my new book: <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1907498028?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=soarisucce-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1907498028">Verbal Self Defense in The Workplace: Proven Psychological Secrets to Help You Beat The Office Bully</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=soarisucce-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1907498028" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></em></p>
<p>I strongly recommend that everybody interested in finding out how to put an end to bullying in their workplace &#8212; you need to check out her blog and consulting company &#8230; she&#8217;s all about comprehensive solutions for healthy workplaces:</p>
