Dealing with Difficult People Workshop

Are you...

  • avoiding conversations you know you ought to have?
  • wishing you could be more assertive and in control?
  • losing patience with certain people or personality types?
  • having problems giving negative feedback?
  • feeling anxious before a difficult conversation?
  • thinking of what you "should have" said after the conversation is over?
  • wishing you had managed a conversation or an individual differently?
  • having trouble managing emotional customers, colleagues or employees?
At this workshop, you will learn techniques and strategies that will allow you to handle difficult conversations and difficult people with skill and confidence.  You will be engaged in practical and interactive discussions, exercises and role plays that will change the way you see and respond to difficult people and difficult situations.  You will be given opportunities to practice learned skills in a variety of contexts so that the skills can become second nature.  You will have the opportunity to complete the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator-Step II* and receive a customized 18 page report containing valuable insights into your personality type and the personality types of others.  You will also be given the opportunity to practice a particular difficult conversation that you select.
