Decode the power games that drain relationships

Training Theme 

This training explores the different strategies of empowerment (fear, pride, envy, compassion, admiration) that exhaust our professional relationships. It allows us to identify and understand the mechanisms of power games at work: manipulation, control of information, victimization, intimidation and flattery. Through videos, exercises and practical tools, participants learn to recognize these dynamics and to free themselves from them. The goal is to develop healthier professional relationships by ceasing to take or give power indiscriminately, to foster true collaboration based on personal accountability.

Training Objectives 

In this course, you will learn how to:

• Recognize and analyze power games at work and the underlying mechanisms.
• Understand the false need to be admired and break free from the endless quest to always be more.
• Liberate oneself from the fear that pushes us to accept situations of domination.
• Realize the manipulation through flattery and compliments.
• Become aware of power games that arise from envy.
• Thwart attempts at manipulation, including those that appeal to compassion.
• Free yourself from misplaced admiration for someone who leads us to give away our power.

Target Audience 

Anyone wishing to promote a model of collaboration that inspires and encourages personal accountability.
