DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE: BRINGING OUT THE BEST IN OTHERS

 

This program is based on the best selling McGraw-Hill book Dealing with People You Can't Stand: How to Bring Out the Best in People at Their Worst, co-authored by Dr. Rick Brinkman and Dr. Rick Kirschner, which has been translated into 25 languages. Dr. Brinkman says, "Communication is like a phone number, you need all the correct digits and in the right order."

Dr. Brinkman will share his proven strategies to handle: Whining, Negativity, Attacks, Tantrums, Snipers, Know-it-Alls, Think-They- Know-it-Alls, as well as Yes, Maybe and Nothing people. He teaches Conscious Communication® which is based on the belief that good communication skills are the foundation of all relationships and the lifeblood of effective leadership, teamwork, and service. 

The examples and practical skills in this program will immediately transform behaviors that used to strain all relationships, both business and personal!  It will even include special contexts like email communications, the phone and meetings (both in person and virtual). And with Dr. Brinkman's trademark Educating through Entertainment style of standup comedy and story telling you will have fun doing it.
