Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!

Have you ever felt like someone in your life always has to win, always has to be right, and somehow always leaves you doubting yourself? You may be dealing with a narcissist. And here’s the truth: you don’t need to fight them head-on to win. In fact, the most powerful way to ‘destroy’ their grip on you is not through aggression, but by taking away what fuels them — your attention, your energy, and your compliance.

Let's clarify this, we are not out to destroy the person, that is not the goal - it is to destroy the unhealthy dynamic that gives them power over you. 

Simply put, when you stop feeding them attention, when you hold your boundaries, when you stop taking the bait — their power over you crumbles.

Rich and Maikel are taking the fangs out of the vampires we call narcissists and helping you gain back control on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
