Respond constructively and set limits
The professional world is becoming increasingly stressful, and employees are more and more confronted with aggressive behaviour from their colleagues or (internal) customers. Even if it is complicated to maintain a respectful attitude when faced with an aggressive person, controlling your emotions and remaining factual is essential. When dealing with difficult people, the most common mistake is to justify yourself or try to convince them. By getting out of the other person’s game, you can regain control of the conversation.

The training is adapted to the needs and context of the organisation. The teaching approach is playful and participative. The group works on concrete cases brought in by the participants and practises in practical situations. The optional presence of an actor makes the approach even more effective.
