Do you sometimes or often or always avoid difficult people or situations? Why?
What could you do different next time in order to grow in Emotional Intelligence?
Here is one tip:
„Do not avoid difficult people or inevitably tough situations. Make the choice to use your EQ (=Emotional Intelligence Quotient) skills to move forward by watching your emotions and making decisions about how to manage them. Observe the other person too, share your preferences, and move forward with reasonable expectations.“
??? Who is a difficult person for you or what situations are difficult for you? What feelings do you have when coming across difficult people or situations? What helps you to not avoid these people or situations???

I think everyone at some stage attempts to avoid difficult situations involving challenging people. I will think more on the subject. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for your comment! Yes- I had to think about this topic too…. Not easy….
My work days are filled with difficult people. What I am learning is to shut up and listen 🙂
