Soft Skills

Handling Difficult People Effectively - 28th Run

Trainer: Koh Thong Joo

How do we handle difficult colleagues and customers effectively? First of all, we need to develop our mental resilience and understand the psychology of their difficult behaviours. Once we understand the positive intent behind their difficult behaviour, we will be able to adopt the right approach to handle their difficult situations effectively.

This workshop is designed to help participants gain insights into the psychology of difficult people, understand the positive intent behind difficult people, learn effective neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) techniques to build trust and rapport, practise assertive communication to put their viewpoints across effectively, and acquire an effective strategy and techniques to handle four types of difficult people.

The workshop is designed to deliver maximum result through experiential learning, case studies, group discussions, self-reflection and translation into actual action plan that can be applied immediately at work.
