Handle Difficult People

Editable training materials for a session on handling difficult people. Get materials for BOTH face to face and virtual delivery at no extra cost.

It would be great if in life, we only ever met people that we liked, enjoyed being with and found easy to get along with. Unfortunately, this is not the case. People are different. Some are like us, and some are very different. These differences can sometimes make relationships difficult, and this in turn can affect how we feel, and what we do.  

This Power Hour session will provide some insights into how delegates can make those relationships a little easier to handle.

In particular, by the end of the Power Hour delegates will be able to: 

  • Understand what we mean by difficult behaviour 
  • Suggest what might be driving the ‘difficult’ behaviour 
  • Use Transactional Analysis to take control of difficult behaviours and conversations

To get a flavour of the core session, you can download our free Key Points Sheet and view the optional Power Point Slides in PDF format on the next page. Click 'Buy Now' and BEFORE you purchase, you can look at those free of charge. Remember... Much more detail is included in the training session plan and detailed delegate workbook which you get when you purchase.
