Dealing with Difficult People and Situations

How to resolve tension using effective influencing skills

Everyone at some time is put in a challenging situation and forced to confront difficult people. In today's offices, we are constantly faced with trying to work with others who may challenge our ability to get things done.

Usually, the difficult person is someone who is working from the negative side of their personality, rather than a conscious desire to be difficult. The person is often unaware of how their attitude or behaviour affects others. They also don't realise how harmful their actions are to their own career success.

In this experiential workshop, Christian Chua will help you to understand these challenging people and situations. He will show you the great value to be gained when we take time to understand another's viewpoint. You will be encouraged to change your attitude towards challenging people, and change your viewpoint about what they are doing and saying. As a result you will find a wealth of knowledge to achieve positive outcomes. This will ultimately lead to building better bonds, improving morale and increasing productivity.

Christian will inspire you to adapt your attitude and behaviour so that you bring out the best in everyone, and ultimately improve teamwork and workplace harmony.
