Working with Difficult People

1 day

Linda Price

Work would be great if it weren’t for the people!

Working with difficult people can be an energy drain and a big waste of time. Yet, on occasion we all have to deal with “impossible” people, whether they are bosses, coworkers, or customers. Dealing with them effectively is essential to your success on the job.

A tool called the MBTI, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, is great for understanding why some people are easy to work with and others are irritating. The MBTI gives you insight on how you come across to others and why people respond to you the way they do. This workshop helps you to better communicate with “different drummers.”

In the class, you will learn to:

  • Understand your preferred ways of absorbing information, making decisions, and taking action

  • Increase your awareness of others who are fundamentally different from you

  • Understand what changes you need to make to communicate better with difficult people, in order to be more productive



  • We administer the MBTI to evaluate the styles of the individual participants.

  • You learn basic concepts of the MBTI and how to use it to improve your communication and results with others.

  • You learn to appreciate the differences that make some people difficult to work with.

  • You learn to maintain PAR - People, Attitudes, and Resources - in your work environment.
