All upcoming sessions (except for May 26-28, 2021) will be Virtual Instructor-Led using ZOOM technology. Using ZOOM, the program will continue to be interactive and engaging involving role plays, exercises, and small group discussions. We are limiting each session to 24 participants.
“The virtual instructor-led format worked great.”
Jackie Robinson, Superintendent of Education, Northwest Catholic DSB

At the Dealing With Difficult People Workshop you will learn techniques and strategies that will allow you to handle difficult conversations and difficult people with skill and confidence. You will be engaged in practical and interactive exercises that will change the way you see and respond to difficult people and difficult situations. You will be given opportunities to practise learned skills in a variety of contexts so that the skills can become second nature. You will have the opportunity to complete the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator-Step II and receive a personal report containing valuable insights into your personality type and the personality types of others. You will be given an opportunity to practice a particular difficult conversation that you select.
At the in-person sessions, a continental breakfast and catered lunch will be served each day of the workshop. Snacks, coffee and drinks will be available throughout the day.
This workshop is part of the Executive Certificate in Conflict Management and the new Advanced Certificate in Workplace Coaching.
