PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Course: Dealing with Difficult People
Duration: 2 Days - Max 12 delegates
Facilitators: -
Role-play Actors: 2 Corporate Role-play actors on both days

All team leaders and managers fear the unexpected e.g. crying in an appraisal, anger when disciplining, or non co-operation in counselling sessions. How can we prepare for these situations? By using a professional actor realistic role-plays are an excellent way to practise overcoming difficult situations. Delegates will be asked to supply relevant case studies prior to the training helping us to tailor the role-plays to their specific needs.
