Overview of the webinar

We all have to deal with difficult people in our lives. It could be a coworker or irate boss, a family member, or that grocery store clerk who just doesn’t seem to want to have a good day. In all cases, it can be frustrating to have to deal with them and even exasperating to figure out how to best deal with them, without it ruining our day or causing us stress.

In this webinar we will look at strategies to deal with difficult people and reduce our stress in the interactions.
