DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE

“Not all poison was bitter. Some of the deadliest poisons in the world tasted sweet; they were that much more dangerous because of it.” – Nenia Campbell

    Course Description

    Sometimes difficult people enjoy being difficult. They enjoy being abusive. They gain immense satisfaction from trying to ruin your day.

    So, what can you do? How can you set boundaries for difficult people? How do you complete your work in the presence of difficult people? This course will give you the psychological tools to remain composed when dealing with difficult people. The aim is to keep you safe and calm in the face of adversity. Tomorrow is another day and sometimes a tactical withdrawal is the best defence.

    This course will also show you what not to do. You don’t want to inflame the situation and you want to keep your personal safety top of mind.
