About this Event
We've all encountered them. The colleague who pushes our buttons, the person who always has something negative to say, or someone who somehow manages to turn an ordinary interaction into a difficult one.
And while we can't always change how other people behave, we can become much smarter about how we think about them, how we respond and how much energy we give them.
Join us for a practical, down-to-earth session exploring three simple ways to deal with difficult people more effectively:
1. Question your thinking
Are you seeing the situation clearly, or making assumptions about someone's intentions and behaviour?
2. Choose your response
Learn how to step back, avoid reacting on autopilot and respond in ways that are more constructive.
3. Protect your energy
Understand when to address difficult behaviour, establish boundaries or simply let things go.
And we'll turn the question around too: What if I'm the difficult person? A little self-awareness can go a long way!
There'll be practical examples, useful ideas and plenty of opportunity for discussion.
The aim? To leave with a few simple thinking tools you can put to use in everyday life.
Because you can't always choose the people you encounter, but you can choose how you respond to them.
