Conflict Resolution

Your Problems are Not My Problems:
Coping with Difficult People Without Becoming One of Them

If one really difficult person wanders into our personal or professional lives, we can suffer for hours, days, weeks or even years. Such experiences teach us to avoid conflict resulting in problems that grow and fester. Habitual abuse can flourish if we do not know how to tend these “weeds” in our garden.

In this interactive, humorous presentation you will learn five simple strategies to deal with familiar conflicts. You will learn how to:
• Stop taking other people’s misbehavior personally.
• Turn conflicts into opportunities to deepen relationships.
• Protect yourself and your serenity from abuse while staying respectful.

These proven techniques are effective and are fun. You will no longer avoid conflict when it presents; feeling confident that you know the secrets to coping with difficult people without becoming one of them.

Sample Topics:

• Help! My Giving Muscle is Broken!

Song sample:

"Gratitude, gratitude. It's an attitude. You can be grateful for what you've got or complain about what's not. It's up to you." - from Gratitude is an Attitude
