Course Description

Anyone involved with others at work or at home who wants to tackle difficult behaviour more effectively will enjoy this course. It'll help you successfully settle those difficult interactions that just wont resolve themselves.

With video demonstrations to support the lectures you'll quickly learn to handle apparently impossible situations where people just wont co-operate: bosses, co-workers, customers, patients or members of the public who act in unpleasant, unpredictable ways.

And it isnt limited to the workplace; if you ever find yourself struggling in your personal relationships there's help here too.

This course tells you how to identify seven common difficult characters, recognise clues to the patterns in their behaviour, and most importantly, how to understand how to prepare yourself, so that you become more effective more often in your relationships.

This 90-minute course includes 12 video lectures. You'll also be provided with concise and clearly written downloads to help you practice some recommended exercises and enhance your skills. And there's a reading list if you want to take your study further.

How to complete the courseThe course contains 12 lectures; approximately 50 minutes of video, presented in bite-sized lectures. Reading time for the associated material is approximately 40 minutes. We recommend watching these several times to help you effortlessly absorb the information. We also recommend reflection breaks between each lecture; avoid 'cramming' and find a pace that suits you.

You have to deal with challenging behaviour in the course of your work, home life or sociallyYou work with one or more colleague whose behaviour you find unacceptable, obstructive or overly demandingYou find it difficult to get your point across in certain situations

Totally amazing and encouraging course. It has all the right ideas and behavior models description, sharing the tool for proactive and effective (as I can assume) issue handling.
