How She Really Does It.

Dealing with difficult people


Listen Later

People can be difficult. They can show up and do things we don't necessarily agree with; it's just what happens in life. And difficult people are something that we all get the opportunity to experience.

Laura Boyd is coming back onto the show as a guest co-host today, and we're talking all about dealing with difficult people and sharing some real-life examples of this. There will always be difficult people, but we get to decide how we deal with them.

So often, we put a label on others because they do things we don't agree with or that go against our expectations of them. But maybe sometimes difficult people have strong personalities, and we can actually learn from them. People learn by being difficult.

If you are dealing with a perceived difficult person, I invite you to check in with your expectations of them and what the cost of you labeling them as difficult is. Consider that maybe they're just doing the best they can, and ask yourself what might be the most generous assumption you can make about that person.

Join us this week as we discuss some ways people can be perceived as difficult and why they are labeled in this way. We talk about difficult situations and how to handle them and how to shift the paradigm and the way you think about difficult people.
