We all encounter people we find difficult, and conversations with them often leave us feeling drained, stressed, or frustrated. This workshop explores what’s really happening beneath the surface of these interactions and provides practical strategies for shifting the dynamic toward more productive outcomes.

In addition to exploring general patterns of difficult behaviour, you will learn how to navigate bullying, pathological forms of intimidation, and chronic passive-aggressiveness or resistance.

After this workshop, you will know how to recognize these patterns early, manage your own responses, and adapt your communication strategies to reduce conflict and foster healthier interactions. This is an opportunity to build your self-awareness and develop personalized approaches to effectively deal with a range of challenging behaviours.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

  • Identify and interpret difficult behaviours
  • Examine your personal dynamics with difficult people
  • Choose how to navigate difficult interactions
  • Develop strategic responses based on specific behaviour types
  • Apply self-awareness to leverage influence

Method of Delivery

Presentation, case studies, small group discussions, experiential practice, personal reflection, delivered electronically.

*Please allow only the registered individual(s) to view the materials.
