The Biggest Mistake Empaths Make With Narcissists

Описание: If you're an empathic or highly sensitive leader who has ever walked away from a meeting thinking *“something feels off”… this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, Lisa Jeffs — Executive & Leadership Coach for Empaths and High Achievers — breaks down the #1 leadership mistake empathic professionals make when dealing with narcissistic leaders, toxic bosses, or emotionally immature colleagues.

You’ll discover why empathic, intuitive, and high-achieving leaders often get pulled into over-explaining, over-giving, and trying to “earn fairness” from someone who simply doesn’t have the capacity to reciprocate.

Lisa dives deep into:
✅ how narcissistic leadership dynamics operate
✅ why empaths feel responsible for others’ emotions
✅ the manipulation loops that keep you doubting yourself
✅ the danger of trying to be understood by someone who thrives on confusion
✅ how to break the cycle and reclaim your confidence
✅ how to lead with clarity, boundaries, and emotional sovereignty

You’ll also hear a powerful case study from one of Lisa’s clients who rebuilt her confidence and leadership identity after working under a manipulative VP — and how YOU can start shifting your own patterns immediately.

If you’re a sensitive, intuitive, or empathic leader who wants to stay grounded, clear, and powerful in complex environments, this episode will help you understand what’s been happening and how to rise above it.
