$60.00 – $80.00Join MCA & ECAA for this interactive virtual workshop. Come ready to interact with your cameras on!
Influencing Difficult People
Difficult people have learned that their approach helps them get their way. It seems that this small number of difficult people causes most of the stress in our lives, robbing us of our productivity and satisfaction. Our usual responses only seem to make it worse. In this interactive workshop, participants will develop the skills and responses needed to deal with these patterns more effectively and productively.
What will you learn?
At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- discuss the six assumptions that lead to successful interactions with difficult people
- discuss the difference between influencing behavior and changing people
- demonstrate three approaches to address difficulties, including “carefrontation”
- develop personal action plans to influence the difficult people in your life
