Have Some Questions?
Here are some of the common questions we get asked about our dealing with difficult people training course:
Our dealing with difficult people courses are delivered by our friendly and highly experienced trainers. We live and breathe what we talk about in these sessions as we use most of the tools and techniques ourselves on a daily bases and bring this real-world experience into the session and the examples that we use.
A difficult person is anyone whose behaviour you find tricky to deal with. This might be someone who is aggressive, argumentative, negative, demanding or any other type of behaviour that you typically avoid.
Many people just avoid those who demonstrate behaviours that we find difficult to deal with. This doesn’t solve the problem and for some, especially those that are in leadership or management positions, this behaviour cannot be ignored.
We try to provide enough opportunity for each delegate to talk about specific behaviours that they are facing. The tools that we look at though can be used with any type of behaviour.
