- Recognize certain personality or emotional traits associated with “difficult people"
- Explore the rationale behind the behavior of difficult people

I liked the way the information was distilled into an actionable and repeatable approach to dealing with difficult people. This is an area where improvement is always welcomed and needed and this course allows me to practice these skills in a way that I can recognize different behaviors, understand what is possibly behind the behaviors and either help coach and improve the team member or address and transition the team member.

This is so useful in everyday life and reminds us that we never know what's going on with someone else. Unless we can step back, gauge how we operate to our "own personal preferences", start looking for the reasons behind why people do what they do, and work to head off misunderstandings then things can and will go wrong. This course really helps you to deal with the little issues before they become big ones!

I always enjoy Neil's classes and how he teaches. His storytelling always makes the class fun and engaging. I love how simple the concepts always seem when he breaks things down. Difficult people are tough to deal with and work with, but, we always have the choice to deal with it and control ourselves, or, we let ourselves get affected by the negative emotion. But, the choice is ours.
Stefanie Carpenter

This course was informative and presented in a professional manner. Neil keeps the listener engaged by talking about real life scenarios. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and would recommend it. In particular the subject about deflecting is the most interesting, we all have employees that like to complain. I tend to ask people how their day is going if they start out by complaining.

I like the conversational approach. Some of the Q&A there is no support in the materials, which would be helpful takeaways.
I think this topic would be better suited to have additional structure and take-away materials with role-plays and other guidance as this is a pretty standard impact on most environments, as stated in the presentation.

Overall I think this is a great course, a lot I have heard over and over. I would like to see a course, how to deal w/t difficult people when their behavior is hidden or covered up by Sr. Mgmt./Leadership... how do we fix that problem. I totally agree that the heavy lifters continue to make up for those that slack or are just hard to deal with.

This course was like listening to a very interesting podcast. The instructor was very engaging, interesting and offered a lot of insight that was not necessarily very obvious. I took this course because I need to fulfill my CPE credits, but I would have listened to this course in my free time regardless, as I found it to be very, very well done.

Neil offers great information in this course! A great reminder from Neil that is humbling is that you yourself are a difficult person (to someone), so this course gives 360 feedback on ways to deal with difficult people as well as tactics you can use to be less difficult. Definitely worth listening to and the supportive material is helpful!

Great real-world examples. The diagram of Behaviors is very interesting and useful to understand where individuals would stand and consequently help to interact with them accordingly to reduce conflict. Not only any client-facing professional would greatly benefit from this course, but even for day-to-day interactions!

I wanted to find more practical solution to how to deal with difficult people， because there true are some coworkers around my work place, and sometimes I want to help them, while sometimes I was a little afraid of them because I did not want to spend more time on them.
