32. Outplaying PUAs: Recognizing and disarming manipulative charmers.

Welcome to "Unshakeable", the podcast that calls out the bull, flips the script, and gives you the tools to thrive in the corporate jungle—or at least survive it without losing your sanity. Today, we’re peeling back the layers on a particularly insidious breed of workplace predator: the manipulative charmer, or as I like to call them, professional PUAs. No, I’m not talking about the sleazy pickup artists who plague YouTube with bad fashion advice and worse dating tips. I’m talking about workplace PUAs—people who manipulate with charm, charisma, and just the right mix of faux vulnerability to make you doubt your instincts while they climb over you to the top. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
