Ben Leichtling, Ph.D.
Ben Leichtling, Ph.D., has studied how to stop bullies since his childhood on the mean streets of New York City.

He is a nationally syndicated leadership columnist and over 300 of his articles have appeared in business, trade and psychotherapy publications across the country. His expertise has been featured in Entrepreneur, the Financial Times, the Harvard Management Update, Woman’s Day, Family Circle and USA Weekend.
