Master the skills to navigate and resolve challenging interpersonal situations.

At some point in our lives, most of us will face challenging individuals—whether they are stubborn, inconsiderate, unhappy, angry, or passive-aggressive. These encounters might be isolated incidents or ongoing challenges, particularly when these individuals are colleagues or team members. How should we respond when this occurs? And what strategies can we implement when these individuals are our employees?

This one-day workshop is designed to help you effectively manage and resolve conflicts with difficult individuals. You'll learn practical techniques for dealing with stubborn, angry, or passive-aggressive behaviours and develop strategies to turn difficult situations into opportunities for growth. Whether you encounter these challenges in the workplace or personal life, this course will equip you with the skills needed to handle them confidently and professionally.
