Course Overview

Irate customers, prickly colleagues and meddlesome managers are just some of the difficult people we will all have to deal with in our careers. These people can be uncooperative, uncommunicative, uncompromising, and often, just plain unpleasant to work with. No matter who it comes from, the stress that dealing with difficult people causes can really hurt – even to the point that it affects productivity through illness and absenteeism.

Our 1 Day “Dealing with Difficult People” programme will equip you with the skills needed to deal with all types of difficult people. Eye-opening case studies and practical suggestions will demonstrate how you can better deal with volatile situations and prevent these from affecting your performance and causing you unnecessary stress. Knowing how to deal with difficult people at work will allow you to approach your job with more enjoyment and your co-workers with greater confidence.
