The Three Steps In
Successfully Dealing
With Difficult People
First Things First: You Always Make An Impression
The way you communicate now and the impression or impact you have
is the sum of all the decisions you have made about how you'd like
to be seen. In other words, as you have grown up, you have watched
various people in your life dealing with
different situations in different ways. You have copied the best
of what you have
seen and then incorporated this behaviour into the way you do things.
Now this
behaviour is so automatic you don't even think about it.
Being deliberate about having a positive impact
You can be blissfully unaware of how you come across. However,
if you want to be
deliberate about having a positive impact – especially when
you are facing difficult
people and situations, then you must get honest feedback. This
is because any
mannerisms you have which inadvertently winds people up will get
in your way when
you are trying to get what you want in your life. As soon as you
know what these
mannerisms are, and know what you need to do to minimise any negative
impact,
you can start practicing the new behaviour – and immediately
see the results in the
way people respond to you.
