Dealing With Difficult People

We had our 1st session of Real Talk tonight and we discussed "Dealing With Difficult People - Who's Pushing Your Buttons?" I believe that the study was well received. Thanks to all of the students and staff at Everest that attended.
======================================================================
Lesson Overview:

When faced with a difficult situation, we may experience many emotions.  When two stressed people come together, even more variety can occur, such as one person becomes pushy and the other becomes belligerent. Next thing, we know, there’s a dispute. Then it escalates and involves more people. Soon, there are grudges building and dysfunctional patterns set in. There may be arguments, nasty letters or break-ups. Others may get mad at us or come to our defense.

SOME TIPS FOR COPING WITH SURPRISES

• Be yourself and be awarea that you will always agree with others
• Be kind to yourself and be gentle with others
• Try to imagine how others may see the situation
• Rest to get strength to deal with life's stresses
• Pledge not to answer suprising email, letters, phone calls, etc. until the next day, if possible
• Try to meet with person face to face
