In Sheeps Clothing by George K Simon

Interesting discussion with George Simon and his book In Sheeps Clothing, dont know if I like the host because he is damn annoying but this could be about almost anyone you know. Watch it and tell me what you think… do you know anyone like this? Are YOU like this?

I believe most people know how to manipulate, its a natural tool for humans to get what they want. But when is too much too much? When manipulation hurts others, there is a problem.

 

 

 

Emotional Abuse in the Workplace

The awful thing about emotional abuse is you can experience it anywhere. Family, spouse, friends, at school, at the grocery store, at your sports clubs. And, in your workplace.

And because emotional abuse is so subtle it can be extremely difficult to spot, and by the time you realize something is not right, you may be at a point where you constantly second guess yourself or feel responsible for the problems you are experiencing.

In time, you may even decide that all you can do is put up with it.

WRONG.

The Painful Awareness of Self-sabotage

What is it about people who cant give up their need for control? Even when they have no need for it, they still feel they have to try and take it?

I’m so sick and tired of trying to understand these kind of people in order to find strategies to protect myself from their bullshit, and yet I find myself asking if I am guilty of the same thing. Don’t get me wrong, I am nothing like the control freaks at work who have no conscience to manipulate and emotionally blackmail people to set things up the way they want. Apparently they call it ‘climbing the ladder’ in corporate speak.

But when I was wondering if people like this are capable of recognizing what they are doing as wrong, I began to wonder if I check myself enough to be able to recognize it in myself.

And what I realized was not pretty.

Emotional Wellbeing ~ Example of The Dark Yoda Action Plan

This is a follow up post to my discussion with The Dark Yoda about his Action Plan, you can read more about it and listen to the discussion HERE.

Sample of a Dark Yoda Action Plan

This is an example only, to demonstrate how you can construct your own Action Plan. Remember, you can adapt this plan to suit your own needs as well as different scenarios.

The object here is to develop a mindset that encourages you to feel confident and to take action when you notice red flags in someones behavior toward you.
