Every workplace includes people whose behaviour can be challenging. Whether they dominate discussions, refuse to listen, undermine colleagues or constantly complain, these behaviours can affect relationships, reduce productivity and increase stress. While we cannot control how other people behave, we can choose how we respond.
This practical, highly interactive session explores some of the most common difficult behaviours encountered in the workplace and provides participants with practical techniques for responding calmly, confidently and professionally. Drawing on a range of recognisable behaviour patterns, participants will learn how to adapt their communication style, set appropriate boundaries and remain focused on achieving constructive outcomes without becoming drawn into unnecessary conflict.
Just some of those challenging behaviour include:
Rather than attempting to change other people's behaviour, the focus is on recognising these patterns, understanding their impact and selecting the most effective professional response.
The session also introduces the use of assertive "I" statements, helping participants express concerns clearly, confidently and respectfully while reducing the likelihood of conversations becoming defensive or confrontational.
This training course is part of our collection of Leadership & Management Training Courses which focus on leadership, innovation, strategy, communication, finance, problem solving and conflict management, to name a few key areas.
By the end of this session participants will be able to:
This engaging 90-minute session combines practical models, facilitated discussion and an interactive exercise, equipping participants with techniques they can immediately apply when working with challenging colleagues, customers and stakeholders.
Designed for all professionals of any industry, including customer-facing staff and anyone who needs to influence others, handle disagreement constructively and build stronger working relationships. Ideal for both new and experienced professionals who want greater confidence in managing conflict, difficult conversations, challenging behaviours and workplace negotiations.
