    Many work groups include a jerk, or two.  Despite the challenges of working with the jerk, she will remain part of the workgroup.  What can you do?  You can lessen the impact of the jerk’s behavior.  Some strategies involve working directly with the jerk.  Others focus on training and support for the jerk’s co-workers.   In this session we identify specific types of jerky behavior.  We then focus on how to handle difficult behavior in the workplace.  You will leave with ideas and strategies you can put into practice.

    About the trainers:

    Melinda Gehris and Lauren Girard Adams, both of Hess Gehris Solutions, develop and lead trainings in effective leadership, constructive communication, and resolving interpersonal conflict.  They work with owners, managers, individual employees and teams in order to address issues with communication and conflict.  Their clients include large and small businesses, non-profits, medical and educational institutions, and individuals.  Their combined legal training, and hundreds of hours of training related to mediation, facilitation and public dialog are put to good use customizing programs that provide a strong foundation for strengthening valuable, on-going relationships in the workplace.
