Dealing with Challenging Interactions

This training course will give you the skills to work with those people that may be considered ‘challenging’.

The skills are mainly aimed at workplace relationships, but they have the added advantage of helping with personal relationships. You will also be given the opportunity to look in the mirror: Are you ‘challenging’? Is your mindset closed to the possibilities of what your team member has to offer?

Is your behaviour potentially exacerbating a potentially toxic relationship cycle?

Course objectives:

  • Understand how different biases can affect your judgement of people

  • Recognise the elements of trust and explore how you can build this

  • Learn to demonstrate the skill of empathy and understand why it is important

  • Identify what happens when you are in conflict with others/how you can ensure both parties win

  • Practice techniques to keep balanced when overwhelmed by a challenging situation

Who is this for?

This course is designed for legal professionals who want to improve their skills in managing challenging workplace relationships and enhance their personal interactions. It is ideal for:
