Managing Manipulation

Ever had someone twist your words, guilt-trip you, or push your buttons to get what they want? You’re not alone.
This straightforward, no-nonsense workshop will help you recognize manipulation, understand why people do it, and—most importantly—teach you how to shut it down.


What You’ll Learn:
✅ How to spot manipulation – Learn the warning signs before you’re caught off guard.

✅ The 7 types of manipulators – From guilt-trippers to bullies, know who you’re dealing with.

✅ Common tricks & traps – Recognize the communication blocks manipulators use.

✅ How to push back (without making things worse) – Use smart, practical strategies to stand your ground.


Why Take This Workshop?
