Episode Summary

You’ll get tips on how to successfully deal with difficult people so you can walk away with even stronger relationships versus avoiding them.

Episode Notes

• Newsflash - we are all difficult at times!
• Be mindful of the four types (the controller, the people pleasers, the pessimists, and the victims). Do you identify as one of these?
• Know your triggers (most difficult people trigger us because of a past situation, not the current one - be aware of what and who triggers you).
• Respond vs. react - learn the mantra of a client of mine who needed help responding instead of reacting with her team.
