We've got answers
1. Will this help if the difficult person is my boss?
Yes. You’ll learn strategies that work whether the challenging person is a peer, a direct report, or someone in a position of authority without damaging your professional standing.
How is this different from general communication training?
We focus specifically on high-stress, high-stakes workplace situations. The tools you’ll get are tailored to navigating toxic behaviors, protecting your energy, and responding in the moment not just “communicating better.

Do I need to prepare anything before the webinar?
No prep required. Just bring an open mind, a willingness to reflect on your experiences, and any workplace scenarios you’d like to approach differently.
What’s one thing I can expect to gain immediately?
You’ll leave knowing exactly how to recognise early signs of toxic behavior and respond with calm, clear communication before situations spiral out of control.
