Workplace bullying all too often gets swept under the corporate rug.

It's a sad truth that workplace bullying is a daily reality for many individuals. But what makes it particularly disheartening is the normalisation of bullying within certain environments, like law firms.

In the legal industry, where pressure and competition run high, bullying has tragically become an accepted norm for far too many.

But today, we speak to Stefanie Costi who unapologetically calls out this dehumanising behaviour.

Stef is a speaker, writer and lawyer. However, deep down, her true passion lies in advocating for a safer and more inclusive future of work.

Her journey started with workplace bullying that shattered her confidence and left her with workplace PTSD. Instead of staying silent, Stef decided to share her story and make a real difference!

She has delivered keynotes on workplace bullying, psychological safety at work and mental health at the National Press Club of Australia, the University of Technology, Sydney and Canva.

Stef’s words have found a home in The Australian Financial Review, The Australian Women's Weekly, news.com.au, Lawyers Weekly, The Daily Telegraph, Courier Mail, NZ Herald, The Greek Herald, and Women's Agenda. She also recently appeared on the Project sharing her campaign Bonafide workplaces.

In 2023, Stef received the award of Highly Commended in the Wellbeing Champion of the Year category at the Annual Law Society of NSW Awards. She also was a finalist at the 2023 Lawyers Weekly Women in Law Awards in the categories of Wellness Advocate of the Year and Thought Leader of the Year.
