35. The Myth of Difficult People - with Phil Webb
Manage episode 486756484 series 3374606
Consider this for a moment: What if there were no difficult people?
What if it was more about difficult situations, circumstances and behaviours?
What if we could all learn to deal to engage more constructively with others in these difficult situations?
Our guest Phil Webb encourages us to do just this and he knows what he is talking about from working in a client facing role for most of his career. In the conversation with host Petra Agthe, Phil offers helpful tips and tools that have helped him and his colleagues to deal with these challenging situations more constructively – ranging from the importance of getting to know ourselves better to reframing anger.
