As long as other people exist in the world, there will be conflict, disagreements, and personality clashes. They are simply a part of life. When we try to ignore difficult behaviors, it usually ends up costing us, but when an uncomfortable situation is well managed, it helps us to learn and grow — both personally and professionally. Therefore, the purpose of this course is to provide research-based tools and strategies for handling challenging interactions with your team members, clients, and other individuals. You will learn how to classify the types of difficult behaviors, understand what motivates these behaviors, and engage in behavioral interventions to prevent them from escalating or reoccurring. These skills will help you to maintain a positive and productive workplace.
About the Course
Overview
Most communication between teammates is largely productive and cordial. However, sometimes people encounter individuals with particularly difficult behaviors that make these interactions unproductive and stressful. To encourage a positive and productive workplace, it is important to develop skills to limit the number and the impact of these occurrences while guiding employees to more appropriate behavior.
In this course, through guided discussion, interactive exercises and role plays, students will learn several types of difficult behaviors, the causes and consequences of such behaviors, and new techniques to handle difficult conversations.
