Taming 'Godzilla' and Other Difficult People

Do you have a "Godzilla" in your life? This was the monster that crawled out of the swamp in those "B Rated" movies. It rampaged across the countryside bringing destruction and chaos everywhere it went. Sound familiar? Whether you're dealing with a difficult co-worker, customer, friend, family member, student or boss, what you say and do can make all the difference.

This lively, interactive program pokes good-natured fun at the 6 typical styles of difficult people and offers simple, practical solutions for coping strategies. Participants will learn what words to use as well as new approaches to diffuse conflict and improve self-management strategies. In the end, this skill-building program gives participants a better understanding of themselves and others to manage outrageous conduct. This class is a perennial favorite among highly diverse audiences!
