Manipulation works when someone convinces you that their reaction is your responsibility. In this episode, I break down how to recognize manipulative behavior, why it can be hardest to see in the people closest to you, and what to do when someone uses guilt, pressure, fear, or obligation to get their way.

  • Manipulation only happens when you've decided that their reaction becomes your responsibility.

  • When you've chosen to say, I need to manage every bit of how they are going to respond.

  • But when you flip that, when you choose to say, hey,

  • I'm not going to allow their reaction to become my responsibility, then there's no margin to manipulate.

  • Then you've removed their entire leverage.

  • Today in this podcast, we're talking about how to handle people that are manipulators,

  • how to handle people who manipulate or that person.

  • In your business, that person in your group,

  • that person in your life, maybe that person you're related to who constantly seems to try to manipulate things.
