Toxic Boss: Recognize and Manage the 4 Types
An online course for managers who have a difficult or toxic boss above them. You learn which of the four types you report to, which tactics work with that type, and how to stay strong while you do it. The English version opens soon. Join the waitlist and I'll email you when it does.
This course is for you if
- You lead a team yourself, and the biggest problem sits one level above you.
- You've tried delivering more, saying less and asking for the big conversation, and none of it changed anything.
- You walk into meetings on high alert because you never know which version of your boss will show up.
- Your results get presented upstairs as someone else's, or decisions sit on your boss's desk for weeks.
- You want to know whether this situation can be fixed, or whether it's time to leave.
What's in the course
- Module 0
Getting started and AI
How the course works and how to use the workbook. You set up Claude as your AI sparring partner, with a ready-made setup that already knows the four types.
- Module 1
Why you're (still) stuck
Why nothing has worked so far. It's about them, not you. You can't change them. And your brain finds what you feed it. You pick one specific situation that stays with you through the whole course.
- Module 2
What type is my boss?
The Tyrant, the Schemer, the Bluffer and the Ghost. Driver, fear and recognizable pattern for each. You take the Boss Type Test and place your own boss, including mixed types.
- Module 3
Tools that always work
Reframing, the Adult Role (calm and clear instead of shrinking or puffing up), getting out of the victim trap, and staying realistic about what an action will cost you.
- Module 4
Your type, your tactic
You set a specific goal, then watch only the lesson for your boss's type. What never works, what works, and the exact sentences to use.
- Module 5
Staying strong for the long run
Self-protection as a craft, your network beyond your boss, protecting your own team, and an honest framework for when it's time to leave.
What you get
- Video lessons across six modules, from the first assessment to the decision to stay or go
- The workbook, with exercises, reflection questions and a ready-made AI prompt for every chapter
- The Phrase Arsenal: 48 phrases for 12 situations, one for each boss type, each with a short note on why it works
- The Boss Type Test: twelve situations, about four minutes
- A ready-made Claude setup that knows the four types, so you can play through your own situation

Questions about the course
For managers who have a difficult or toxic boss above them. It's built for people who lead a team themselves, but the tools work for anyone who reports to a difficult boss.

No. Modules 1 to 3 build the foundation for everyone. In Module 4 you watch only the lesson for your boss's type. If things are on fire right now, there's a fast track: take the Boss Type Test, go to the lesson for your type, and use one sentence from the Phrase Arsenal.
No. Module 0 walks you through setting up a Claude account (free or Pro) and the ready-made setup step by step, including the privacy settings worth changing.
That's normal. Most bosses are mixed types. One type dominates, and a second one shows up in certain situations. Module 2 shows you how to make the call and what to pay attention to.
