CBM Training - Dealing with Difficult People

Dealing with difficult, upset or angry people is a part of life and a part that most of us will encounter on a daily basis. If you are constantly dealing with 'unhappy' people at the office, it can result in you dreading the thought of having to go to work. The stress that builds up may ultimately cause you to stop concentrating on your daily tasks - impeding your productivity.

CBM Training has developed this specialised one day training programme to give you an 'arsenal' of practical techniques for identifying and dealing with difficult people, and defusing volatile situations. Anyone who may have to deal with difficult people - either face to face or telephonically - will benefit enormously from this course.
