Why you should Attend

We often encounter angry people in the workplace. We are going along our merry way and then someone puts up a blockade in our path. Maybe its corporate politics and power plays of a co-worker, maybe it an employee that seems to not get along well with others, or maybe it's a boss who thinks yelling and shouting is the only way to interact with their staff. As a result, we often have to deal with people who it appears their sole purpose is to make our life difficult. This can be intimidating, frustrating, and disruptive to our daily work goals.

What strategies can you use to diffuse them and mitigate future angry interactions with you, or with them and others?
