Ep 11 – 4 Types of Difficult People & How to Manage Them

Do you have a difficult boss? Maybe you have challenging team members or peers? Here’s how to manage different personality types, deal with difficult people and come out on top.

 

 

Have you ever had to deal with a toxic relationship?

I certainly have and in this episode I am sharing some of my own realisations… (more complete eureka moments) as I worked my way through solving how to deal with difficult people to break the ugly pattern I was in.

Life is too short to have toxic people taking up your thinking and emotional space…

And the only person who can break that cycle is you.

So let’s talk about how to do it in today’s episode!

 

Difficult people at work… let’s talk about:

• The obvious signs you are in a toxic situation
• Thoughts on the difference between work and personal toxic relationships – and how to manage them better
• 4 different ‘difficult people types’ – what to look out for
• Tips to challenge (and hopefully break) negative cycles you don’t want to be in any more

 

Here’s something that stood out for me in today’s episode:

“The big trap is judging others on your own values, rather than on theirs. As long as you judge their behaviours against your own values, you stand a good chance of being disappointed.”  (Rebecca Allen, ‘Her Ambitious Career’ Podcast)

What are your experiences of managing yourself successfully out of a toxic, or difficult relationship?
What did you do to break that pattern?
