9 Strategies to Protect Yourself from Toxic People and Energy Vampires
OVERVIEW
"When someone shows you who they
are, believe them the first time” —Maya Angelou
Toxic behavior in the workplace is
like an infectious disease - it spreads and infiltrates teams and
relationships. Without the understanding, skills and tools applied
intentionally, toxicity will continue to spread
eventually impairing the organization and burning out the leaders and staff.
In some organizations, toxicity has a
seemingly intractable hold on the culture - its rampant. In other organizations
it is more covert, but no less debilitating to the organization and the people.
People who would not normally exhibit
toxic behavior begin reacting to the toxicity of others in ways that are
negative and harmful to productivity and relationships. This is the beginning
of a downward spiral. Toxicity feeding off toxicity. Good people will leave the
team and organization.
Toxicity and energy vampires at work
won't go away if they are ignored. They will fester. Specific and intentional
action is the only way to counter toxicity. There are skills and tactics that
will work once the underlying behaviors are identified and understood.
Only by learning how to identify
toxic behavior in the workplace, how to get rid of energy vampires and
developing a specific plan to confront and incapacitate them, will the
workplace become safe and harmonious.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
• Having to deal with toxic people
and energy vampires at work is overwhelming and frustrating.
• The non-sensical conversations, ad hominem attacks, misrepresentations,
deception, lack of taking responsibility for their actions, defensiveness,
back-stabbing, condescension, and sarcasm is exhausting.
• You'd like to just get the job done, without feeling like you're going into
battle. You avoid them as much as possible, find reasons for not working with
them, maybe even miss meetings they will be attending, anything to not have to
interact with them - but there's no way around it, sometimes you just have to
work with them.
• Toxic people can show up anywhere in your work or personal life – they can be
customers, vendors, staff, colleagues or managers. Toxic people have specific
behaviors which require specific strategies for dealing them - they are much
different from the strategies and tactics for dealing with people who are
merely difficult.
• Learning to distinguish the truly toxic from the difficult and having a range
of tools and techniques readily available will give you a major advantage in
getting desired outcomes.
• Toxic people can also be very destructive to relationships – one of the first
rules of dealing with toxic people is to learn to protect yourself.
• In this engaging and practical webinar you will learn key strategies, tactics
and skills of blocking energy vampires and protecting your emotional and
psychological well being, without acquiescing, getting walked on, controlled or
dominated, while also getting the job done, efficiently and effectively.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Energy vampiring (people who suck all
the energy out of other people) and toxicity typically start out very subtle
and nuanced. When left unchecked, the behaviors will metabolize into all
aspects of interactions, eventually impacting everyone even close to the
situation. Once a pattern has been established dealing with the discord can
seem intractable.
There is hope - the key to protecting
yourself and the organizational, team or groups culture, is to recognize early
on before the pattern becomes established, and take specific and intentional
counter measures against toxic behavior in the workplace.
