Virtual Classroom (Live) How to Work Better With Difficult People Webinar

This LIVE, virtual course will show you how to deal effectively with toxic co-workers.

Course Description/Agenda


Difficult people come in every variety. No workplace is without them. When a colleague exhibits challenging behavior, it not only interferes with that person’s performance — it also affects your ability to get your own job done. Ignoring the rudeness, yelling, shunning, gossiping, complaining, stalling, harassing, bullying, and other difficult behaviors, won’t improve your situation. The negativity will continue to infect you and others.

This LIVE, virtual course will show you how to deal effectively with toxic co-workers. You’ll learn skills that are crucial to your professional success by gaining a better understanding of why people are difficult in the first place — and discovering the most effective ways to respond to problematic behaviors without adversely affecting your career.
