Manipulative behaviour in the workplace can be difficult to recognize and even harder to address. Whether it appears as narcissism, emotional manipulation, gaslighting, blame-shifting, or subtle power plays, these behaviours can undermine trust, create psychological strain, and negatively impact team performance. Left unchecked, they often leave employees questioning themselves while damaging morale, confidence, and workplace relationships.
This program provides practical strategies for recognizing and responding to manipulative behaviour using the POWERSHIFT™ Model. Participants will learn how to identify common manipulation tactics, understand the motivations behind these behaviours, establish healthy boundaries, communicate more effectively, and protect both their well-being and the health of their team.
