Testimonials

"Nancy is an outstanding public speaker. She has a wealth of personal experience, a deep knowledge of people and keen business acumen. Add to this her strong and earnest desire to help others and impact their lives in a positive way, it is easy to understand why her audience members leave

her presentations feeling empowered and engaged."
Frank M. Duzicky, Manager of Learning and Development, Alpern Rosenthal

"Your keynote address, It's Never Too Late to Get Happy! set the stage for the entire conference! I truly appreciate how you tailored your presentation to the needs of the group - you took a topic that is often considered "soft" but had each of us asking ourselves some "hard" questions. The sponsored gift of your autographed copies of Peace, Love and Lemonade allowed the audience to take your message home with them!" Mary O'Connor, Ph.D., RN, Chair, SWPONL Education Commission

"I have heard Nancy speak twice now, and I enjoyed both times. Her energy is so positive and inspirational. Each talk was different but highly engaging."
Dottie Coll, President, TWO MEN AND A TRUCKŽ

Hello,

How many difficult people do you interact with that you wish would go away? Just like many countries hung garlic from their doors to ward off evil vampires, wouldn't it be nice if you could simply hang bulbs of garlic in your doorway to make the difficult people go away?

Unfortunately, dealing with difficult people is not an easy task. With today's fast-paced, technological, and multi-cultural society, interacting with people is becoming more challenging. People are highly stressed with different communication styles and life experiences that can make human interactions frustrating and exhausting.

A difficult person is defined as someone who continues to demonstrate unfavorable, disrespectful, or immature behaviors after multiple effective attempts to change their behavior have been tried. Sometimes the negative behavior keeps occurring because of the ways the difficult person was or was not approached to resolve the situation. Then there are other times when the difficult person just does not "get it" and never will. When the later occurs, you must make a choice about how you will think and react the next time you interact with the difficult person. Will you accept the behavior and keep letting it occur or will you walk away?

7 Tips and Insights for Dealing with Difficult People

1) Keep in mind, that 90% of what someone says is about them, which means only 10% is about you. There are a lot of self-absorbed people with low self-esteem. Try not to take these people personally...it is all about them.

2) Focus on being collaborative instead of competitive. Perceiving people as the enemy will guarantee strife and failure. Get over your own ego, and give credit where credit is due.

3) Ignore gossipers and do not participate in the conversation. People with low self-esteem love to gossip and make fun of people. This display of immaturity makes them feel superior.

4) Do not rise to their level of anger and screaming. Keep your cool by taking a time-out.

5) Hold passive-aggressive people accountable by encouraging them to speak their truth.

6) Set clear boundaries and limitations. If necessary, remove or distance difficult people from your close circles.

7) Seek relationships with healthy, positive people.

20 UNUSUAL Uses of Garlic

Even though you cannot use garlic to ward off the difficult people in your life, it does add fabulous flavor to your dishes and has dozens of healthy and household uses. Check out this Ecosalon article to know the many uses of garlic from treating cold sores to repairing eye glasses. Who knew!

I challenge you to think about how you will respond the next time you interact with the difficult person in your life. I am sure the negative experiences you have had are affecting your own well-being and performance. If you do not change how you respond to difficult people, the negative experience will keep happening in YOUR life. Keep in mind that you cannot change others. You can only change yourself. This is YOUR life, make it happy and delicious!

Be strong, be wise, be delicious!
