About this listen

Do you ever walk away from a conversation at work feeling confused, guilty, or like you suddenly owe someone something?

Ever had your ideas stolen, your boundaries ignored, or your competence quietly questioned?

Tired of sensing that something is “off,” but you can’t quite prove it so you just doubt yourself instead?

Most workplace manipulation isn’t loud, obvious, or openly hostile. It’s subtle and strategic. It happens in praise that feels too warm, apologies that don’t resolve anything, favors that come with invisible strings, and conversations where you start confident and end confused. Manipulators don’t need authority to control you - they just need access to your emotions.
Manipulators in The Workplace give you a simple, practical system to recognize manipulation in real time, stay calm, and protect your boundaries and reputation. It shows you exactly what to look for and what to say so you regain control the moment you see the game.

You don’t need to become cold, combative, or paranoid to protect yourself. And you don’t have to “fight” anyone to win. You just need to understand the game because once you can see the tactics clearly, they lose their power.

Take back your clarity, your confidence, and your career.
