"How to Handle a Difficult Person without Losing Your Cool or Compassion"
In this engaging talk, New York Times bestselling author Jodee Blanco gives participants the tools to communicate successfully with challenging individuals. She demonstrates how to gently but firmly refocus the irate, unreasonable, or uncooperative person and elevate the atmosphere from one of animosity to growth, using proven, emotionally intelligent practices. This is about the human component of being a better communicator with people who are pushing all your buttons.
Take-aways include:
"The 3 Tenets of Emotional Credibility in Communication"™
How to prevent an "I wish I would have handled that differently" moment
3-step technique for how to respond instead of react
How to reply to a rambling email or text without getting sucked into the rabbit hole
How to access your compassion when it's the last thing you feel and why it can be the gamechanger you need
The secret to keeping your cool
She will conclude with a few brief anecdotes from her PR years and her seminal work inside America's schools and what it taught her about the ability in all of us to be better communicators.
