About the Dealing with Difficult People course

Difficult people defy logic. Some are blissfully unaware of the negative impact they have on those around them, while others appear to derive satisfaction from causing chaos and pushing other people's buttons. In either case, they add unnecessary complexity, strife and worst of all stress. Stress has long been shown in studies to have a long-term negative impact on the brain. Even a few days of stress reduces the effectiveness of neurons in the hippocampus, a key brain area responsible for reasoning and memory. Weeks of stress cause reversible damage to neuronal dendrites (the small "arms" that brain cells use to communicate with one another), while months of stress can destroy neurons permanently. Stress is a formidable threat to your success; when it becomes uncontrollable, your brain and performance suffer. The majority of workplace stressors are easy to identify. Dealing with difficult people is always stressful. We've all been in situations where we had to interact with difficult people, whether at work, school, or over a business lunch. They do exist in the workplace, and the better you become at dealing with them, the happier you will be at work. Difficult people may take advantage of every opportunity to cause problems, or they may simply use passive resistance to waylay your best efforts to move your agenda forward. While you cannot control others, you can control and improve yourself by doing the following: Recognising your own attitudes and behaviours, creating coping strategies, managing your anger. Through this Dealing With Difficult People course, you'll learn how to deal with aggressive, manipulative, undermining, prejudiced, or otherwise difficult people.
