This course will leave you empowered to deal with even the most difficult people in a clear, rational, positive and professional way.
About this Event

Discover how to skilfully handle difficult individuals who may present challenges with their argumentative nature or awkward behaviour. The art of clear communication, combined with rational and positive approaches, is essential in effectively dealing with such individuals.

On this one-day Handling Difficult People Training course, we delve into the complexities of managing those who consistently display inappropriate behaviour. This course equips you with the tools to strike a balance between assertiveness and ineffectiveness when confronted with difficult people.

Over the course of a day, you will gain empowering insights on how to address even the most problematic individuals in a professional manner, employing clarity, rationality, and positivity. The focus lies in understanding the significance of proper communication and setting goals and standards. By exploring various techniques for handling difficult situations, you will master the skilful "wrong box/right box" approach.

Join us in this transformative course and enhance your ability to navigate challenging encounters with confidence and proficiency.

Corporate Coach Training is CPD accredited. This course qualifies for CPD 6 trainer-led hours, with additional 2-3 via post-course portal independent learning.
