In the six years Lisa have been running Safe Space Workplace Lisa realised the narcissistic behaviours and language abusers use in the home are the same behaviour and language narcissists use in the workplace narcissistic bullies’ use. Which is what led Lisa to create The Courageous Communicator Course Narcissistic language and behaviours are something Lisa understands really well Both her parents are narcissists, so it was the first language I learnt growing up. I have put what I learnt in my childhood, my abusive marriage, in my corporate career, fifteen years of learning and healing along with the last decade into this course. It is Lisa’s passion to share her knowledge and empower people to have.
