• You'll learn simple techniques to isolate your mindset and bulletproof yourself against these people
• You'll get to know the different "behavioral archetypes" - sets of techniques and attitudes that work against specific types of people
• You'll learn about the process of consolidating a change in attitude and behavior, so you are not stopped before you even start to protect yourself

Target audience

• You are any type of person that needs to deal with manipulators at work (or at home)
