WORKPLACE RISE UP CHALLENGE
A Leadership and Well-Being Program to End Bullying and Build High-Impact Teams
At Cause-Based Consulting, we believe sustainable change begins in the heart – and lasting transformation starts from within.
That’s why we created the Workplace RISE UP Challenge: an innovative leadership and well-being program that helps companies transform culture, strengthen leadership, and build high-performing, purpose-driven teams from the inside out.
This program equips employees with the tools to lead with courage, emotional intelligence, and impact – creating workplaces where people feel seen, valued, and safe to thrive.
A MODERN LEADERSHIP SOLUTION TO A GROWING CRISIS
1-in-3 U.S. workers experience workplace bullying and 83% believe it’s getting worse. The next generation is watching, and they place a high value on strong leadership and healthy work environments.
Workplace bullying isn’t just an individual issue – it’s often shaped by outdated systems, unexamined behaviors, and cultural blind spots.
Unchecked bullying in the workplace results in serious consequences- burnout, turnover, legal liabilities, and declining mental health – costing businesses upwards of $60 billion annually.
The Workplace RISE UP Challenge reframes this crisis as a leadership and culture opportunity. It begins with a powerful keynote led by a father who lost his 11-year-old son to bully-related suicide – a deeply moving catalyst for courageous conversations, shared humanity, and fresh perspectives that foster trust and meaningful change.
From there, employees engage in expert-led RISE UP training, a 28-day challenge, and individual and company-level certification – all designed to build a culture of high-impact leaders fostering respect, teamwork, and sustainable results.
Participants walk away with practical tools, a shared language, and renewed purpose to lead with confidence and compassion—elevating both people and performance.
The Workplace RISE UP Challenge is designed to better the lives of your employees, their families, your company culture and your communities.
Available virtually or in person.
