"I'M OK BUT YOU'RE NOT!"
Dealing with difficult people

We all deal with difficult people at some time in our working lives. Think back to when you dealt with a difficult person… Do you wish you could have handled the situation better? Would you like some guaranteed ways to resolve future conflict? Could you use some new techniques to handle difficult people?

This special session is part of the VSCA Ultimate Ideas Day: How to gain, sustain and retain more volunteers in your school

It will be full of ideas for working with people (regardless of whether you or they are voluntary or paid) and will include:

  • The most successful ways to look at conflict differently
  • Why being assertive isn't always the best way, and what else you can do
  • How to spot the 4 negotiation styles of volunteers and work with them
  • What 'sponging' is and how it can be your most valuable skill in dealing with difficult volunteers
  • How to take criticism and why you should always ask for more
  • What is 'bathing' and how it is the your greatest communication skill
  • The top 3 sure-fire techniques to use in conflict situations

The VSCA Ultimate Ideas Day will be facilitated by Dr Judy Esmond. Judy is director of MTD - Making The Difference, is a 'stresspert' (a stress expert) and is the author of '101 Ways to Less Stress'. Not only has Judy worked extensively with non-profit organisations and volunteers, she has also written the best selling book 'Count Me In! 501 Ideas on Recruiting Volunteers'. Judy's workshops are always high content, high energy and great fun!

If you want to add to your skills for working with people, don't miss this inspiring and motivational day.
