In this life, there are all kinds of different people that we're going to encounter, including difficult people and more often than not, we'll have to either work with them or be cordial.

In this video, I talk about the 4 types of difficult people and how to navigate social interactions with them, respectfully so that if you're in the workplace, no one gets written up 😅 it can be exhausting, and we cannot fix our difficult people, but by using our people skills and new communication techniques we can try to understand them and create better interactions and even stop their negativity in its tracks!
