Identify rationalization and trained reactions used by manipulators and gatekeepers to withhold information or involvement, and learn to detach from these automatic responses to stay open minded.
Reinforce your identity to resist manipulation by building self-trust and a strong sense of self. Embrace intense experiences, recognize strengths, and practice self-care to anchor yourself with powerful life moments.
Specify and quantify negative behavior to hold someone accountable and guide boundaries. Focus on impact areas: people, project, and political, and use cost estimates to document consequences and drive change.
Identify and quantify the consequences of manipulators and gatekeepers by assessing people impact, project impact, and political impact, including hoarded information, blocked communication, and hoarded resources and contacts.
Defend yourself with nonconfrontational tools: set boundaries and frame, practice exquisite inquiring, and document attitudes and consequences to stop negative behavior.
Apply explicit inquiry to challenge negative behavior, including bullying and harassment, by asking why they act or say it, forcing them to justify and reveal that such actions aren’t natural.
Learn three offensive tools: implementation attention, intent labeling, and presence to stop problematic behavior, make others accountable, and create direct consequences when defense alone fails.
Explore implementation intention as a persuasive technique that asks for specifics on how to do something, prompting mental visualization, option generation, and nonconfrontational influence.
Leverage presence, persistence, and frames to neutralize bullies, hold tension in negotiations, and guide others toward actions by staying eye to eye and not caving.
Analyze how manipulators and gatekeepers shape context by evaluating attitudes, consequences, information hoarding, and past responses to anticipate actions and plan confrontation.
Explore protection archetypes: diagnose, shield, documenter, and challenger, and learn to neutralize negative behavior by balancing boundaries, documentation, and power dynamics with mindful application.
Explore two protection archetypes—the shield and the challenger—that counter manipulators and information silos by setting boundaries, maintaining steady behavior, and, when needed, confronting them to keep others in line.
Consolidate a new attitude by building a consistent identity that sets personal boundaries, gradually ramping up at work and in life, and mastering frame battles to withstand pushback.

TAKING THE "MAN" OUT OF MANIPULATION
Manipulators and gatekeepers are two of the most dangerous types of characters in the corporate world.
They will keep information for themselves. Promote themselves and not the company. Spread lies to get other people fired.
And that's just the beginning.
They can cause serious consequences in terms of the productivity and morale of an organization.
Even worse, they will create noise in the information, making you believe the wrong people are actually the low-performers.
So, learning to deal with this type of person is crucial.
That's what we're here to do.
WHY THIS COURSE?
Naturally, there are many courses on social skills and relationships.
But none as complete as this one.
I've been an executive coach analyzing executive relations. Sales. Influence and persuasion. Conflicts. And more.
This course leverages a combination of all of these.
I'm not just going to give you basic tools to deal with these people.
I'm going to show you elite, exclusive techniques from many different areas.
COURSE STRUCTURE
But dealing with someone negative or unhinged is not that easy. Which is why we need a structure.
In this course, we are going to cover the fundamentals of dealing with a difficult person, all the way from optimizing your internal mindset to the tools you can use, and the bigger strategy.
The course is split into four major sections:
The Inner Game (dialing your internals and removing your "baggage");
Defensive Tools (tools to prevent the other person's negative behavior, but only that);
Offensive Tools (tools to actively break the other person or compromise their frame, making them submit);
The Strategy (taking into account the bigger factors, such as how supportive HR is, the company culture, and others);
By the end of this course, you will be able to more effectively deal with this type of person, as well as protect yourself so that you can keep perform without interruptions or threats.

And by this, I mean, EVERYTHING that is in the package.

You'll learn how to reinforce your identity to have a stronger sense of self, so that you are less affected by events;
