I am working with a toxic female
Females with dark personalities are known to target other women at higher rates than they do men. This means that in feminised workplaces, gossip, rumours, relational aggression, and bullying can be a real problem. This can transpire in a range of ways, from workplace exclusion to denying opportunities to using disciplinary processes to push out the victim rather than the perpetrator. I can assist you with:
-
Coaching
-
Strategies for dealing with bad behaviour in women
-
Responding to formal work processes

I am a woman, who is being targeted by a toxic female
There is a belief that women should always support other women both personally and professionally. However, the reality is much different. Most women value the relationships and support they receive from their female friends. I know I certainly do. However, when women are on the dark personality spectrum, when friendships go south, so does the behaviour. Understanding how to respond and protect yourself in social and work situations is essential. I can assist through:
-
Coaching
-
Assisting you to understand her behaviour and how best to respond.

I am looking for an Researcher who understands dark females
Much of the research and associated funding is provided to and through Universities. Although this is important in most areas, when looking at females with dark behaviour, universities are reluctant to put their name to it. As a skilled researcher, I conduct independent ethical research for organisations and individuals in the following areas:
-
Female bullying in the workplace
-
Psychopathic female behaviour in relationships
-
Female perpetrators and male victims of Domestic Violence
-
Dark tetrad traits in women
