How to Navigate a Snake Pit: Communication Strategies Lab for Toxic Workplace Environments
Session Description
You asked for more, and now it's time to act. Join us for How to Navigate a Snake Pit: Communication Strategies Lab for Toxic Workplace Environments. In this new 90-minute workshop, Dr. Constance Staley, one of our most in-demand presenters, will examine how some threats in life are unmistakable, like poisonous cobras or venomous copperheads. When we encounter one, instinct takes over: we don’t pause to weigh options, we run. Swiftly. Decisively. But what happens when the danger isn’t in the wild—it’s at work?
This Master Series Workshop is a deep dive into the anatomy of workplace toxicity and the communication tools that help us survive and thrive within it. We'll explore these questions: Has workplace toxicity become normalized, and if so, what can we do about it? Can toxic cultures be changed? How can we cope, confront, or even transcend? Through interactive dialogue, case analysis, and group reflection, we’ll explore:
In a previous Training Magazine session with Constance Staley, Being Sabotaged at Work and What to Do About It, we uncovered many views on conflict(s), including how toxic workplace relationships can kill and otherwise healthy organizations.
If you missed the first session, don't worry, we'll review the key takeaways, questions, and concepts in our new workshop. If you'd like, you can review the first session's recording here.
Our members spoke out in a word cloud about sabotage/toxicity red flags.
Today’s workplaces can feel treacherous, too. Nearly one-third of professionals report experiencing “Sunday Scaries” or “Monday Dread.” In one study, 94% said they’d worked with a toxic colleague in the past five years. Another revealed that workplace relationships—not workload—were the top source of stress.
Unlike snake encounters, our response to toxic cultures is often slow and uncertain. We hesitate. We deliberate. And when we finally act, it’s often under a cloud of fear, stress, or self-doubt. Please join us for this special Masters Series Workshop.

Through interactive dialogue, case analysis, and group reflection, we’ll explore:
- Who pushes our buttons — and why it’s so hard to deal with them
- How toxic behaviors show up and spread
- What communication strategies help us protect, defuse, and respond
- How AI can help us analyze conflict patterns and assess resolution strategies
- When to escalate — and when to walk away
