Do you know how to work with difficult people?  How many of these personalities do you recognize?

-           The Know-It-Alls

They're arrogant and usually have an opinion on every issue. When they're wrong, they get defensive.

-           The Passives

These people never offer ideas or let you know where they stand.

-           The Dictators

They bully and intimidate. They're constantly demanding and brutally critical.

-           The Gripers

Is anything ever right with them? They prefer complaining to finding solutions.

-           The "Yes" People

They agree to any commitment, yet rarely deliver. You can't trust them to follow through.

The "No" People

 

How this program is structured...

 

It's structured for maximum learning. You'll experience a carefully designed combination of:

-           Informative presentation

Your trainer is skilled at sharing information in a way that's engaging. Just sit back and take it all in.

-           Practice exercises

You'll do some of these alone, and others with groups or a partner. Don't worry - no one will be singled out or embarrassed.

-           Group discussion

Get your questions answered. Share your point of view. These are some of the most stimulating segments of the program.

 

 They are quick to point out why something won't work. Worse, they're inflexible.

Of course you recognize them. They're the people you work with, sell to, depend on, live with. Learn to deal with them quickly and confidently at Dealing with Difficult People.

How this seminar will help you deal with problem people

1. You'll understand the difficult people in your life.

Learn how they think, what they fear, why they do what they do.

Understanding difficult people makes dealing with them less frustrating.

2. You'll know specifically what to do and say.

At this seminar, you'll concentrate on here's-how-you-do-it

techniques. You'll leave knowing how to use these techniques in

specific situations, with all types of difficult people.

3. You'll be less of a target for difficult people.

Look at the difficult people in your life. Chances are, at least one

person manages to get along with them. You can, too. Learn how to

derail problem people and teach them to treat you with respect.

4. You'll bring out the best in people.

Let's face it - nobody's difficult all of the time (and everybody's

difficult some of the time). Your new skills will help you reinforce the

most positive behavior in everyone - at work and at home.

 

 

 

Never again fall victim to those who love to make life miserable for the rest of us ...

This is a day of intensive training with immediate payback ...

Learn to take the offensive against know-it-alls, dictators, snipers, gripers, "yes" people, "no" people, and all of the other contrary characters you confront every day.
