Our guest is Farah Harris, a psychotherapist, speaker, and the author of The Color of Emotional Intelligence.

She's also a LinkedIn learning instructor and a respected voice on workplace well-being.

But today we have a bit of a different angle.

We're not just talking to the expert with all the titles.

We're talking to the human behind them.

Farah opens up about her own painful experience of being gaslighted and

manipulated by someone she hired and how it shook her confidence as a leader. What she learned

in that moment will change the way you think about boundaries, empathy, and power in negotiation.

If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling drained, confused, or doubting yourself,

this episode will help you spot the red flags early so you can reclaim your power.

and colleges that have been using my book for their curriculum and business. And there's the

LinkedIn learning course, which is helping folks recognize that you can't do DEI without the

EI, which is emotional intelligence.
