You’ve heard us talk about narcissism and introversion — but there’s another behaviour quietly influencing your workplace more than you realise: avoidance.


In this episode, you’ll learn how avoidant behaviour shows up at work and in personal interactions, why it’s often misunderstood, and how it slowly damages trust, productivity, and team culture. More importantly, you’ll walk away with practical ways to identify avoidance early — in yourself, your boss, or your colleagues — and respond without escalating conflict.


If you’ve ever dealt with delayed decisions, silent managers, unclear communication, or emotional withdrawal at work, this episode helps you stay grounded, communicate better, and protect your energy.
