How to Deal with Difficult People: Fight Fire with Diamonds
This program will give you the skills to diffuse conflicts, turn arguments around and employ proven techniques to get along with almost anyone, even the meanest and most malicious.
By understanding different types of difficult people (and what they want), we can learn to develop strategies and "scripts" beforehand. This helps us recognize the difficult behavior and practice how we handle being blindsided by difficult people. In this session, Lisa shows how relationship problems come from people not speaking the same language as the difficult person. You will become more confident, and more skilled at dealing with the worst — and the best!
You will learn:
- How to diffuse difficult situations with humor and charm
- To identify types of difficult people and use effective ways to deal with them
