The Triumph Organization is a
nonprofit headquartered in Central Ohio. Triumph is
devoted to dealing with female bullying, also known as
relational aggression, a form of emotional and psychological
bullying that occurs when an alliance of people target
another individual with indirect tactics such as rumors and
gossip, exclusion, betrayal, blackmail, silent treatments,
eye-rolling and dirty looks, name-calling, mean laughs,
manipulation, intimidation, cyber-bullying, and other covert
behaviors.
Mission: Triumph is dedicated to igniting positive social
relationships among girls and women while diminishing and
extinguishing indirect aggression. Triumph aids
victims in overcoming relational wounds, empowers bystanders
to stand up against relational bullying, and helps
aggressors realize their behaviors and channel their
destructive emotions and actions into productive outlets.
This is accomplished through awareness, education, and tools
that promote healthy communication and competitiveness.
Triumph believes that every girl and woman is worthy of a
healthy, safe, and encouraging social environment that
allows personal and professional growth. From children
and teenagers to stay-at-home mothers and career-oriented
women, all females deserve to establish social solidity
through self-security and boundaries that protect against
emotional and psychological damage.

As a teenager, Tami McCandlish loved life. She was an honor-roll student, a star athlete, and was
happy, outgoing, and confident. But those blissful days were
cut short when the highly destructive strategies of an
all-girl alliance sent her emotional well-being and
stability into a downward spiral.
As a result of the abuse by her peers, McCandlish found
herself becoming a reactive aggressor, a characterization
that further ostracized her from her classmates, friends,
and community and left her pleading to God that He would end
her life. Not until her adult years did she connect with the
power of Jesus Christ and overcome the many wounds of her
past.
Tami McCandlish’s Flying Grounded illustrates the complex
problems and secret suffering felt by many girls and women.
Through her extensively chronicled experiences, McCandlish
successfully demonstrates the importance of helping young
girls and women find the validation they need to cope with
bullying. She also challenges you to evaluate your
relational experiences, raise your standards of compassion,
and explore your faith.
Touching upon a little-known topic, Flying Grounded offers
hope and inspiration for those who suffer from female
bullying.
