Sweet Words, Sharp Knives - The Honey Trap Episode
Description
She smiled sweetly, charmed her way into power, and made herself untouchable - a lot like a honey trap at work. But behind the sugar was a wicked little strategy… and it’s time to talk about it.
Ever met someone at work who seems oh-so-sweet, always flattering the right people, and somehow ends up holding all the power? Welcome to the workplace honey trap. 🍯
In this episode of the Career Pivot Accelerator, we pull back the curtain on how charm, likability, and strategic vulnerability can be used to manipulate workplace dynamics - often without a single harsh word being spoken. From liking bias and the halo effect, to cunning gatekeeping tactics and “brain fog” defenses, we’re diving deep into the psychology behind these power plays.
I’ll show you how to spot the warning signs early, keep your cool, and build smart boundaries so you don’t get caught in someone else’s strategy.
This one’s bold, insightful, and pulls no punches. Hit play - it’s time to talk about it. 🐝✨
