Enhance your work life and relationships by learning how to approach difficult people and conversations with confidence.
How can library staff effectively deal with stressed out, disgruntled, or inappropriate patrons? And what happens when the person causing difficulty is a staff member or colleague?
This course will teach you foundational strategies for engaging with difficult people at work, both internally with colleagues and externally with patrons. You will learn tenets of cultural humility regarding language, as well as de-escalation techniques and how to assess your own communication and conflict styles in order to bring self-awareness into all situations. This interactive, online course will provide you ample opportunities to role play and workshop real-life challenging scenarios with peer groups.
You will leave this course with the practical skills and confidence to maintain calm during tense situations, adapt to challenges as they arise, and know when, if, and how to engage with difficult people at work.
