Re: Making Coaching a Professional Discipline Instead of Snake Oil

On the quality of conversations, coaching conversations, event presentations, on indoctrination vs. education, and Duper's Delight --

I attended a succession of professional conferences in the coaching field, which were nothing more than studies in Duper's Delight.

[sociopathlife.com]

Sociopaths and Narcissists enjoy the art of duping, or the art of conning or whatever verb you want to inject. Everyday that you forgive the sociopaths behavior, believe the litany of lies, and give habitual second chances is only enabling the sociopath to continue this destructive behavior towards you {and children if you have them}.

The sociopaths use a mixture of words and sentences all scramble together to create the duper delight salad. Here are the ingredients of the salad:

abundance of meaningless and irrelevant facts {as they see them}
circular conversation that never ends
condescending tone, talking down to you
blaming, shaming, and denying and always having excuses
alternating from abuser to victim to back again
always right with their point of views
relentless in their verbal dissertation when wanting you to believe something {especially when you know to be untrue}
