Difficult, challenging people exist in all areas of our lives. Demanding bosses, irritable colleagues, angry customers, emotional subordinates, know-it-alls, bullies, complainers. I'm sure you recognise some of these people - they are the people you work with, sell to, buy from, depend on, live with! They cause tension and problems for everyone who comes into contact with them. They make you feel frustrated and drained. They can make our lives miserable.

 

In this popular, experiential workshop, Ricky Lien will help you to understand these challenging, hard-to-handle people, so that you can get colleagues to co-operate, bullies to back off, and complainers to quiet down. You will learn some positive skills and strategies to handle difficult people and situations effectively, so that you improve relationships and achieve the best possible results. In doing so, you will be able to reduce stress, work with more confidence and ultimately enjoy your work and life much more.

 

Don't miss this opportunity to learn how you can successfully deal with difficult people so that both parties benefit from a positive outcome. You will see how you can ultimately improve relationships and make the environment happier and more productive for everyone.
