How To Deal With Difficult People In A Group?

I can only + 💯 this. Expecting a difficult group often creates one. Your body language, attitude, and language signal what you expect. Participants pick up on that quickly and start protecting themselves. Those signals then reinforce each other, making the group harder to work with.

On a sidenote. What is a “difficult person” anyway?

• Someone asking many questions. That might be curiosity, not resistance.
• Someone not willing to participate. Perhaps instructions aren’t clear.
• Someone constantly seeking attention. Enthusiasm with no outlet
• Someone whispering to someone. Maybe there’s no space for interaction.
• Someone interrupting you. Perhaps you talk too much and too long?
