Dealing with Difficult People

Course Objectives:

There are a lot of us on the planet so unfortunately encountering difficult people is unavoidable! Whether it is someone that constantly talks and never listens, a co-worker that knows best and always has to have the last word or even someone who can be undermining or bullying in nature, it is important to address the on-going difficulty otherwise it will eventually lead to conflict and an unpleasant and counter-productive working environment.
