1492: Tame the Inner Bully: Build Confidence, Emotional Control, and Resilience with Mindset and Leadership Coach Jeanie Cisco Meth

Jeanie Cisco Meth is a dynamic speaker, best-selling author, and resilience coach known for her passion in helping others conquer bullying and develop true self-confidence. Having turned her own struggles with bullying, illness, and adversity into powerful lessons, Jeanie now empowers individuals and organizations—including schools, police, and the military—to implement bully-proofing strategies that foster authenticity, personal growth, and a positive mindset. Through her speaking, coaching programs, and book "Bully Proofing You," she has inspired countless people to break negative cycles, develop emotional awareness, and transform obstacles into stepping stones for lasting success.
In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Jeanie returns to discuss her journey from classroom teacher and military veteran to founder of a coaching program that trains others in bully-proofing. She shares how her approach involves not just addressing bullying directly, but also empowering individuals to understand and regulate their emotions, reframe negative experiences, and create planned responses rather than reactive outbursts. Jeanie draws a clear distinction between discipline and bullying, emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence, and explains how healing personal triggers can diffuse power dynamics in bullying situations. Listeners will hear real-life transformations and gain practical tools to build resilience, confidence, and purpose.
Quotes:
“A bully is someone who tries to intimidate or control through body language, words, or actions. Once it becomes physical, that’s assault—and that’s a different issue entirely.”
“Bullying is rarely about you—it’s about the other person’s pain. If you heal your emotional triggers, you can respond with purpose instead of reacting from hurt.”
“There’s a fine line between discipline and bullying. Discipline calls out wrong behavior in love and truth; bullying attacks the person for being themselves.”
