Dealing with Difficult People - Training Workshop
We all have, at times, to work with people we do not find as easy to work with as others. This training workshop looks at the key behaviours that make people difficult to work with and looks at a range of solutions that can improve these working relationships. In this programme attendees will analyse their own communication style and how to flex this style, to enhance personal interactions with difficult people. This Workshop will explore many key areas such as transactional analysis, motivation, recognising and dealing with workplace conflict, as well as the reasons why some people are particularly challenging to work with. By the end of this workshop attendees will develop a range of strategies to handle a wide range of difficult and demanding situations more effectively. This is an interactive experiential training programme that allows participants to take time to analyse the people they work with, as well as their own behaviours and attitudes that can both help and hinder personal interactions.
