Defense against the Narcissists, Manipulators Liars, and more Secrets of Ethical Influence Webinar Part 1

Are You Being Manipulated—and Don’t Even Know It?

Ever felt like someone hijacked your emotions, made you doubt yourself, or pushed you into decisions that didn’t feel right? Maybe it was a friend. A partner. A boss. Or worse—a persuasion predator who knew exactly how to control you without you realizing it.

What if you could spot the red flags before they sink their hooks in? What if you could defend your mind—and still be influential yourself?

In this powerful and eye-opening session, Dr. David Snyder reveals:

· How narcissists and manipulators overwhelm your emotions and hijack your identity

· The subtle tricks predators use to go from “stranger to soulmate” in minutes

· The ethical line between persuasion and manipulation—and how to stay on the right side

· How to strengthen your self-image so you can’t be easily controlled or isolated

Ask yourself: Are your decisions truly your own? Or are you being influenced without your consent?

This isn’t just training—it’s protection. And it could change everything.

Quotes:

• "Emotions are your superpower if you know how to manage and direct them appropriately." - Dr. David Snyder
• "The more powerfully you gain control of your system, the more difficult it is for predators to manipulate you." - Dr. David Snyder
• "Ethical persuasion is getting people to choose what's right for them without deceiving them or removing their choice." - Dr. David Snyder

Actionable Takeaways:

• Audit Your Emotional Triggers Identify the emotions that cloud your judgment (e.g., fear, excitement, guilt). Ask yourself: “When do I stop thinking clearly—and who benefits from that?”
• Strengthen Your Identity Loop Build a self-image that supports bold, confident action. The more stable your sense of self, the harder it is for manipulators to destabilize you.
• Watch for “Fast-Track Intimacy” Be cautious of people who try to bond instantly or call you their “soulmate” after one meeting. Ask: “Is this connection real—or being engineered?”
• Set Emotional Boundaries Practice saying “no” without guilt. If someone chips away at your self-worth or isolates you from others, recognize it as a major red flag.
• Assignment: Track Covert Influence Attempts Over the next week, write down any moment where you felt pressured, confused, or emotionally thrown off. What tactics were used? How did it affect your choices?
