Thanks for watching! Have you ever hard to deal with difficult people at work? How did you handle it? Comment below! :)
Many many many of them :) Hahaha...it's best to note it and try to not take it personal or let it flare you up too.
YES! I'm so sorry to hear you've had to deal with so many difficult people, but it definitely looks like you've learned from it! Cheers!
Yes, I've been experiencing such situations and I followed this way once; however, the other person thought that's totally okay to vent in the same way again and again and apologise at the end of the day. LoL
I say it's about them not me and let it go.
Hi Adriana if I told you my stories at work you would be shocked. The same people I helped, encouraged, trained and even signed off for for their qualifications and even took in nice food for them. The same knes stabbed me in the back or neglected me in my hour of need. And it hurts.
Definitely agree, dont get angry. This will turn everyone away from you, definitely dont want to scare people away.
Totally! You don't want to be labelled as a "difficult" person as well! Thanks for your comment. Cheers!
I tend to use #4 most often when I have a difficult person to deal with at work.
That's great! It takes a lot of courage to be compassionate and to empower yourself, but really helps turn the situation around. Happy to hear this works for you!
So true - staying calm can be difficult in those situations but it really helps turn the situation around!!
YES! Staying calm and not taking it on is so important! Glad to hear this works for you. Cheers!
Thanks for this advice.I’ll use this the next time.
As a 9 year old kid, I have to say...this advice works when you're in school, too. ;)
Haha! Great to hear, Steven! By learning these steps early, you will make things much easier for yourself later in life. :) Cheers!
Super helpful info... thank you so much ❤️
I'm glad you found it helpful, Sandra! Are you going to implement these tips next time you need to deal with someone negative? Let me know how it goes. Cheers!
Great reminders and spot on. "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." Dalai Lama
Yes! Compassion helps everyone win! Thank you.
In every workplace, there is that one person that seem to be more difficult than others. But you are so right, they don't wake up with the thought to harm other people. Your suggestions are great how to deal with these people. Thanks.
Yes. It is easiest to show compassion when you assume the best intentions. Let me know how these steps go next time you have to deal with a negative person! I'm so glad you find these suggestions helpful. Cheers!
Yes ALL of them.I don’t like negativity at all
Thanks for watching Austin. Not many of us do enjoy negative people but hope this video gave you a few ideas on to how to deal with it at work. All the best in 2020, Cheers!
Thank you so much. I wish I knew this before I went to work today.
You are very welcome, Penny. Thanks for watching and wishing you all the best. Cheers!
Luckily I’ve been spared the dreaded cranky coworker! But these are great tips to turn a bad situation around at work.
That's great to hear! Glad you found the tips helpful. Cheers!
Hi everyone and Adriana if I told you my stories at work you would be shocked. The same people I helped, encouraged, trained and even signed off for for their qualifications and even took in nice food for them. The same knes stabbed me in the back or neglected me in my hour of need. And it hurts.
I agree with everything you said! I used to allow what people did or said to affect me on a personal level but the. I realized that maybe they were going through their own issue and tried to be compassionate. If that didn’t work, I just didn’t pay attention to them and continued to just do my best at work.
It's great to hear that the same tips have been working for you! Everyone is bound to bump into negative people at work, but once you find a way to deal with them and improve each situation, nothing can hold you back from doing your best. Couldn't agree more. Cheers!
I am a lighting technician for corporate events and I constantly interact with negative people. The first rule you came out with; Be calm, don't take it on is one of the tools I have used without knowing it. Everyone on a jobsite says so and so is a jerk and doesn't know how to communicate. I know some of these individuals and completely agree with their assessment, but my response has been to anyone saying that I haven't had any issues with so and so. I feel like being calm is the reason why. I deal with a TON of project managers and never have any issues.
It is the best way to go when dealing with negative people. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share. Cheers!
Yes, that difficult person at work. These are some great tips thanks.
I'm glad you find them useful. It sounds like you're familiar with these kinds of people - let me know if these tips make it any easier to deal with them next time! Cheers!
I feel that these are also for negative people in life in general :)
You are absolutely right! Work is just one place where we can encounter negative people, but these steps work in other situations as well. Thanks for your comment :)
I just try to avoid negative people! Love your 4 steps. Deirdre. X
Thank you! It is still helpful to know how to handle situations that we can't avoid. Let me know how these steps work for you!
Great Adriana. If they are a person who constantly behaves poorly, I will usually separate myself. If not, I give them space and then re-address when they are calm. And like you said, work on the solution and stay out of the personal.
It's lovely to hear that you are able to handle these situations so well. Every situation is different, and it is important to adjust our responses accordingly. So glad you are able to remain positive, Renata! Cheers!
Right they maybe having a bad day! So true (love this) thanks!!
It really helps to understand where people are coming from, doesn't it? I'm glad you found this video helpful! Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Oh my goodness this is the PERFECT video! I wish I had this when I worked my 9-5 job!
Thanks so much, Stephanie! Work is just one place we have to deal with difficult people - maybe you will find another situation to use these tips! Hopefully not, though, haha! Cheers!
Yes! I’ve dealt with this. Can you tell me how to learn to control my emotion?
Taking time to meditate is a good place to start. Thanks for watching, cheers.
THANK YOU! for discussing the elephant in the room.
Someone has to! Knowing how to deal with negativity makes life so much easier! Cheers!
I used to have a fellow staff member come in to take over the night shift and nit pick everything that was happening at the moment as being my failing. I remained calm and addressed each issue. I thought they might get tired of being wrong several times in a row but they never did. So I stayed calm each time and kept addressing the issues, not the personality. If I was wrong, I apologized about that issue and learned for next time.
Hi Jerry. I have to say you handled that situation perfectly and shows what great character you have. Thanks for sharing and watching. Wishing you all the best for 2022. Cheers!
@@AdrianaGirdler Happy New Year to you as well. Learning so much here.
Thank you Adriana for the great tips. The point that is VERY valid is - that often we are actually part of that whole negative vibe, without realizing it. I always say - be smarter, think about your responses to the situations.
Exactly! We have no control over how other people act but we DO have control over how we respond! We can be positive and compassionate. Thanks for watching, cheers!
Thank you so much Adriana. I have face such a conflict in workplace as some didn't apply for online courses recommended by HR and the reply " I didn't have time to have an online course"
Thanks for watching Mohamed. Conflict in or out of the workplace is never something anyone wants to encounter. Hope you were able to smooth things out. Cheers!
Awesome topic. I agree people are innately good. Corporate culture really influences how the interactions go at the office. I used to work in the pharmaceutical industry. I was fortunate that I really liked the people I worked with but there were challenges that would pop up from time to time- after I went on a personal growth path I began to understand it was all in the way I would respond to each situation. Happy to be on this path!
Definitely! It takes time to learn how to handle these situations, but once you know how to respond, everyone's environment becomes more positive. So happy to hear that you have grown through these situations! Thanks, Wendi!
Definitely often deal with situations that raise the blood pressure. Taking heed of your final advice is hard..hard to be transparent and unemotional. Might be. Good topic for another video
Thanks so much for your input! I agree, it can be hard sometimes, but definitely worth it in the end. Cheers!
Great tip on bypassing the emotion and focusing on what is factual.
Definitely! I'm glad to hear that one spoke to you. Cheers!
Adriana. Great take in this stressful situation. I get this question a lot in my monthly coaching program. Good take on it.
Thanks so much, Andrew. Glad to hear you agree and are helping others to learn. Dealing with difficult situations definitely takes patience and practice! Thanks for your comment. Cheers!
Great advice to use at work. Thanks so much... I have experienced some difficult situations.
I'm glad you find this advice helpful! Next time you experience a difficult situation, try implementing these steps and let me know if it turns out better! Cheers!
Great advice! Challenging situations for sure!!
Glad you found this helpful! Let me know if these steps make it any easier next time!! :)
I was just in a similar situation 10 mins ago. My colleagie and I were talking on phone about the comments we had made on a google document. And I noticed she was in a mood since the beginning of the call. When she "bombarded", I kept it calm... throughout.. in the end of the phone call I asked her what the issue actually was and how can I help in future. I also cleared that I was not being unreasonable...its just that we both work differently..n its good to talk about things in a repectful way...
But it was difficult. I found myself shivering... but NOT anxious...
So I came to your channel to look for an advise..n found that most of the things you suggested I had already done Yaaaaay!
The question I ask you is: do we keep on being the punchbags for them for any unresolved issues at home? How to prevent this in future?
Congratulations on handling the situation with calm and grace. It is excellent that you didn’t react. This can be hard to do when we are bombarded.
To answer your first question...no, it is never acceptable to be anyone’s punching bag.
To answer your second question on how to prevent it....for one off situations the way you handled it was perfect. Sometimes people do have bad days and they take it out on others without realizing it. You can even ask them if they are ok because their behaviour was out of the norm. This compassionate approach can be very powerful for both parties involved.
However, If you have a repeat offender then you may have an Human Resource issue as this may be office bullying. Continue to behave the way you did and document the incidents. If they are happening frequently you will need to bring this up to HR as office bullying is never acceptable.
Let me know how it goes. I hope this helps...cheers!

I am deeply sorry to hear this and I can only imagine how much that has hurt you. Sending you kindness and I hope things get better as you move forward.
Thanks so much for your precious advice 💫
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! I'm glad you found it helpful.
Yes this information is so valuable. Thank you for bringing topic to our awareness! I know it will help me be more conscious of my reaction towards a negative situation.
I'm so glad you find these tips helpful, Ebony. Let me know of any positive changes you notice after following these steps in a difficult situation. Cheers!
thanks for the tip :-)
Thanks for your comment! Are you going to try these steps? Let me know how it goes. Cheers!
I don't interact with negative people and if I have to, I do not allow that negativity to rub off on me.
That is so great to hear. Staying calm and positive is always a good thing! Thanks for watching, Pauline!
Yes, I've been experiencing such situations and I followed this way once; however, the other person thought that's totally okay to vent in the same way again and again and apologise at the end of the day. LoL
I say it's about them not me and let it go.
Hi Yasmine. I really like your positive out look even though it can be a difficult situation to deal with. Thanks for watching and wishing you all the best for 2022!
Really appreciated the compassion in this!
❤️ Thank you for watching, cheers!
Ooh, great topic! Almost everyone's encountered this issue. These are all great tips!
Thank you! I am so glad to hear you found these tips helpful. Cheers!
Luckily I do not work with any difficult people! But this video has amazing tips for people who do! :)
Wow, not everyone gets that lucky! It makes a huge difference when we get along with the people we work with. So great to hear that, Christina!
What if approaching the situation knowing that it’s an endless loop and just giving space.
Sometimes giving space is the best tactic to deal with negative conflict at work. Thanks for watching and wishing you the best, cheers!
I have experienced the megaphone reaction. Staying relaxed is a great tip, even though it is hard. Great video. How is your puppy???
I'm happy to hear that staying relaxed works for you, Heather. You're right, it can be hard, but is so worth it in the end! Yoko is doing great and is still cute as ever!!! Thanks for asking! :)
Awesome information and much needed after this pass week.
Thank you. Hopefully this week will be a good one for you. Cheers!
Best video on work conflict.
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. Is this something that you have dealt with in the past or that you are currently struggling with? I would love to hear how this video has helped you. Thanks for watching, Cheers!
Great tips
Thanks so much for watching!
I don't care what's going on with people don't take your problems out on me I have problems too I work here just like you
Yes…we all have our problems….that is true. How we deal with it is a choice. How we choose to react to others way of dealing with it is a choice too. Choosing not to be impacted by others is a skill that we are not taught but can learn.
