Ever felt like someone at work feeds off your reactions, thrives on drama, or constantly pushes your emotional buttons? In our latest post, we explore Grey Rocking and Yellow Rocking, two powerful strategies for protecting yourself from narcissistic behaviour in the workplace.

In Episode 2 of Narcissism at Work, we highlight the Emotions Wheel, a powerful tool to help name what you’re truly feeling. Toxic leaders often gaslight you into self-doubt. The Emotions Wheel cuts through that fog, helping you move from “I’m fine” to “I feel dismissed” or “ashamed.” When you can name it, you can start to process it.

In Episode 3 of Narcissism At Work, we explore how narcissistic behaviour shows up between colleagues. These aren’t always the loudest voices in the room. Sometimes, they’re the charming coworker who praises you publicly but undercuts you privately. And the damage they cause is just as devastating.

We attended Feast, Melody and Adornment: The Art of Pichvai at the Mall Galleries in London, a landmark exhibition founded by the formidable Pooja Singhal. It’s the first major UK showcase of Pichvai, a 400-year-old sacred painting tradition from India, historically rooted in temple rituals but now beautifully reimagined for contemporary audiences.

What happens when inclusion becomes a tool for manipulation? In this bonus episode of Narcissism At Work, we hear Aisha’s story, how she joined a so-called “inclusive” start-up only to face emotional abuse, blurred boundaries, and unpack how narcissistic leaders use trauma, chaos, and control to maintain power and the toll it takes on confidence and careers.

When narcissistic bosses dominate a team, they don’t just create bad management, they create long-term harm. Their need for control often leads to a culture of fear, confusion, and emotional instability. Teams stop collaborating. Innovation dries up. People walk on eggshells, burning out in silence. We unpack in episode 2: Narcissism At Work podcast.

When inclusion is weaponised and boundaries are blurred, narcissistic abuse can thrive, especially when power dynamics are at play. In our first Listener Letter bonus episode, we hear from Maya, a young woman navigating a toxic boss, emotional manipulation, and career fear. Paired with expert insight from clinical psychologist Dr. Daksha Hirani, this episode offers validation, language and tools for recovery.

We’ve already explored what it means when workplaces stay silent during global crises but what about when they fail to provide even the most basic support for their employees? In our latest article, we dive into what happens when there's no acknowledgement, no psychological safety, and no real mental health care at work.

Our new podcast, Narcissism At Work, breaks the silence around toxic leadership, workplace gaslighting, and the emotional toll of chronic manipulation. This is for anyone who's ever left a job feeling confused, drained, or like they were the problem. Here’s what you can expect in episode 1.
