Have you ever worked with a narcissistic boss, a boastful colleague or an office bully? Have you ever surprised yourself with your own defensiveness, jealousy, anger or self-sabotage?

These are Shadows at work: parts of ourselves we repress and push into the unconscious. To lead effectively – and live fully – we must face, embrace and integrate these hidden aspects, not only in the workplace but in all areas of life.

In this groundbreaking book you will learn to recognise your Shadows, reclaim projections, move from defensiveness to curiosity, avoid derailment, lead from embodied presence and build a meaningful career and life. Our Shadows often conceal not only what we fear but also what we most desire – love, aspirations and our most authentic self.

Shadows at Work is essential for leaders seeking self-awareness, organisations fostering inclusive cultures and anyone on a path of personal growth.
