Dealing with difficult people is something that most of us will experience at one time or another in our lives. We may encounter people who are inconsiderate, stubborn, indecent, angry, unhappy or passive-aggressive. If difficult interactions are necessary, and we approach those conversations or interactions with a plan, we will likely find that these encounters are easier to handle and we can achieve more successful outcomes. In this workshop, you will learn how to turn difficult situations into opportunities for growth and learning.
