HOW TO DEAL wITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE…
AND LOOK FORWARD TO IT

Difficult people can be hard to handle. They can leave you feeling frustrated, angry and at your wit's end. This insightful and humorous workshop will give you powerful new ways of dealing with even the most difficult person, so you can keep your serenity and walk away with a smile on your face -- no matter what anyone else says or does.
 
In this interactive seminar, you will learn:
  • What underlying emotions compel people to behave badly
  • How you should respond to specific types of difficult people
  • Key phrases and methods that diffuse anger, hostility and defensiveness
  • How to establish and maintain boundaries so everyone is treated fairly
  • How to maintain your own center of compassion and use it to help others
Steve Shama's humorous real-life stories and compassionate wisdom will give you a new perspective on stress and how to manage it in every situation — from your own daily stressors to the often unseen stressors of the difficult people you encounter.

“Steve, I had to write and tell you how wonderful you were. I could have listened to you all day. You were truly inspiring. Your words definitely crossed all bounds, not just professionally. I loved your enthusiasm and spirit. I work with 4 practices/ 50 PCP’s and I wish they could all hear you speak. Thanks for making me think beyond the obvious.”
