How to Manage and Coach The Difficult Person

At some point all managers are faced with difficult individuals who create special challenges for those with whom they work.

In this three-day in-person program, discover how to disentangle difficult people from their behavior and create self-awareness and (ultimately) change. Learn to define difficult behaviors, explore reasons why people may be difficult, and practice a model for coaching that brings about positive change.

Coach and mentor, Kris Plachy, M.S., leads this class, which begins with a session on setting expectations and implementing performance systems which instill accountability. It continues with creating self-awareness and looking at a model for coaching others. Finally, you will have the opportunity to practice to reinforce the management of common challenges presented by difficult people.
