Pathological Narcissism Impacts us all - Knowing How to Root it Out Creates Thriving Individuals & Thriving Organizations!

It corrodes individuals and organizations from the inside out.

We’re all swimming in narcissist-infested waters, but how do you go from surviving to thriving?
Here are some key industries where my message makes a difference.
KEYNOTE SPEAKING/ PODCASTS / MEDIA
Vilifying of Narcissists
and other scare tactics are commonly used to shake people out of narcissistically abusive relationships, but fear & anger only get in the way of growth & healing!
Awareness of narcissism and narcissistic abuse have made their way into popular culture, which is a good thing! BUT with so many misconceptions perpetuated by even well-meaning individuals, it’s hard to separate truth from fiction.
The truth delivered in Alena’s message teaches you fundamental aspects that are essential to understanding, surviving, and healing from pathological narcissism and narcissistic abuse.
CORPORATE SETTINGS
The Parasite of Corporate Culture: How pathological narcissism sucks your company dry of productivity and profits.
In corporate culture, to survive a shark, you either have become one yourself or get chewed to pieces. Both options damage the entire ecosystem. To maintain a healthy ecosystem within your organization, you need to ensure two things:
Pathological Narcissism is not welcome, and
Narcissistic Abuse is not tolerated
Even organizations with the foresight to establish healthy ecosystems have hidden gems trapped under the rubble of their own emotional wounds, either from their current relationships or ones that scarred them from childhood. The knowledge I will share with your company will:
Break them free of their insecurities, and
Empower them to become optimal performers
LEGAL & JUSTICE SETTINGS
Lurking in Shallow Water: How to spot pathological narcissism in the legal system
The most challenging divorce cases you’ve faced have probably been influenced by pathological narcissism from one party or the other. Often it takes months to be able to sort out the truth of the relationship dynamic, and many times, without witnessing the abuse firsthand, you can unwittingly fall prey yourself to the manipulation of a pathological narcissist.
Learn to spot the telltale signs of narcissistic abuse and equip yourself with the knowledge of how to navigate interactions with a narcissist in the legal system and beyond.
FOR EDUCATORS
Teaching Children Stealth Tactics: Educating children who are raised by narcissists
For children living in family systems defined by pathological narcissism, rarely do those kiddos show up in the educational space ready to learn.
Perhaps you’re working with a parent who has clued you in to the situation at home, or perhaps you’ve clocked the narcissistic traits of both parents, and you’re wondering what difference you can make. While you may feel helpless to enact change that counteracts the influence of narcissism, there are tactics you can teach them that will serve them well for years to come.
UNIVERSITIES & COUNSELING PROGRAMS
"Are you sure that's what they said?" & Other questions that will undermine your progress with narcissistic abuse victims
The curriculum in a Master’s program is vast, and rarely does it fully prepare new therapists for all the challenges they will face in the field. But we can give them a head start with some of the most complicated patients and heartbreaking situations they may come across in their early positions in child welfare, substance abuse treatment, domestic abuse shelters, community mental health, etc.
This talk is intended to help prepare future educators & mental health providers who will be working on the front lines with narcissistic abuse victims.
FILM PRODUCTION
Narcissism on Set: How pathological narcissism hinders the efficiency of productions
Once we understand the concept of “narcissist supply” and how starved pathological narcissists are for external affirmation, it’s not hard to determine how the resulting parasite of productivity finds its way on set.
With acknowledgment, understanding, acceptance, and some boundary setting, your team can learn to navigate with more ease and skill in a narcissist-infested industry.
