We hear so much about being an introvert but just knowing that isn't enough. You need to translate your personality into a competitive advantage and have strategies for where you need to adapt.
Difficult coworkers exist in every workplace. Do you know how to handle them? The actions and personality traits of difficult people make it hard to work with them. They come in many types.
■The chatterbox never stops talking and prevents work from getting done. Chatterboxes include those who gossip and share “too much information.” (TMI!)
■The criticizer/complainer is a negative person who never says anything good about anyone. The complaints go on and on!
■The illusionist promises the world, but later doesn’t follow through and fails to meet commitments.
■The glory hog wants power, credit, and the spotlight, whether deserved or not.
■The delegator never completes his or her fair share of the work and always has an excuse such as "I'm sick." or "I have to pick up my kids." The key to intervention is to interrupt the difficult coworker’s pattern early in your relationship or it will only get worse. If you don’t, you could be blamed later when conflict with the difficult person becomes a pattern others notice—such as your boss.

The document provides guidance for conducting site visit interviews. It recommends meeting interviewees in their natural environment to put them at ease and see relevant context. No more than 3 people should attend to avoid overwhelming interviewees. Conversations should be private to get honest responses. Interviewers should enter without agendas, refrain from judgments, ask permission before questioning, clarify doubts, avoid leading questions, be aware of body language, actively listen and allow thinking time, and remind interviewees there are no right answers. Roles like note takers, photographers, and quote-capturers can help capture information during interviews.
As a job seeker, how do you handle the "NO's" in your search. Often it is not just the fact that you may not be a fit. In fact, it could be a number of factors that contribute to a company parting ways.

This document discusses coaching and leadership skills. It explains that coaching develops people's minds and skills, not just their skills. Coaching is the most effective way to transform oneself and change behaviors. The document discusses how humans learn through their cortical, reptilian, and mammalian brains in response to emotions. Effective coaching involves listening at three levels - what the coach is thinking, what the coachee is saying, and what the coachee isn't saying. Coaches must be self-aware of their own emotional triggers and learn to shift their emotions. Intuitive listening involves the heart, gut, and head to understand coachees beyond just their words. Transformational coaching involves reflecting on assumptions and beliefs to help coachees
The document provides 4 tools for networking comfortably and effectively: presence, not trying to look good, focusing on connecting with others, and helping others. It discusses how networking is often an "unconscious performance" where people try to make a good impression but feel fake. The tools encourage being fully present, stopping efforts to appear a certain way, listening to the other person, and finding ways to be of service rather than focusing on personal goals. The overall message is to relax and connect with others rather than see networking as a performance.

The slide is about the need and importance of inter personal skills. Each and every business day the manager puts many decision questions to the test. The questions must first be identified as problems or opportunities, verified; scaled into mathematical models for which an answer will abound, and then controlled by updating the solutions because of the dynamic nature of business decisions. Mathematics has been recognized as an autonomous interior constructional activity which, although it can be applied to an exterior world, neither in its origin nor in its methods depends on an exterior world. The criterion of a good mathematical model is confined to its usefulness in making good strategic decisions. This is the absolute core of Management Science approach to decision-making, which is the science of decision-making. Not all science facts have practical usefulness. For example, Darwin's insight had no practical payoff, but he was a revered figure because he changed the way humans see their place in nature. The slide is based on the premise that a good decision maker has good interpersonal skills.
Management Science can help reduce or eliminate the fear of making wrong decisions by providing help with the decision-making process. In fact, management science's goal is to eliminate decidophobia. This is accomplished through the phased processes of management science that dissects the components of the decision into workable elements and allows one to proceed to the decision-making stage with sound knowledge on which to base one's choice. However, if you choose not to use management science, there are plenty of other ways to avoid making decisions.

Self-confidence is one of the biggest obstacles for women in taking a seat at the table. In order to close the gender gap, we need more women to aim for positions of leadership.

Addressing how to overcome these barriers is a critical issue no matter what level you are in your career. In this interactive workshop, we will explore what gets in the way to self-confidence, how the lack of confidence impacts women's leadership and contributes to the leadership gap, and what you can do to get more if it to get to the next level in your career.

Difficult Conversations in Creative Environments ~ IA Summit 2009Dan Brown
Information Architects work in environments that demand close collaboration with other people, primarily clients and colleagues. Design teams of any size need to manage the logistics of the design process, collaborate with each other to solve complex problems, and communicate those ideas effectively. Clients also exert pressure on the design team, presenting the design problem and vetting potential solutions. Successful senior designers and team managers must know how to navigate these waters delicately. Every one of these activities–from clarifying requirements to presenting design ideas to walking through revisions–requires working with other people. Every task on a design project has some element of communication and collaboration. And these infinite touchpoints within the team (designers, managers, stakeholders, and clients alike) represent risks to the project: one misstep and the project can come to a screeching halt.
This workshop is for information architects to help them understand and improve the core communications skills for working with teams and clients. Junior information architects seeking advancement will benefit from this opportunity to explore the crucial skills that separate them from senior designers.

- Top 6 mistakes that can turn difficult conversations into disasters.
This document discusses having difficult conversations in the workplace. It outlines that people dislike difficult conversations because they take time, involve emotions, and can cause conflict. However, having the conversations (action) is better than no action, as problems will escalate without action. The document provides a 3-step process for handling difficult conversations: 1) gain clarity on the issue by separating facts from feelings, 2) overcome the instinct to avoid the conversation, and 3) deliver the message in a direct but sensitive way using "I" statements. The goal is to have productive discussions to improve relationships and work productivity.

Michael Klejman, Bill Smith and I (Katherine Popaleni) developed this power point and used it in our presentation to delegates at the Ontario Assoc. of Not for Profit Homes and Services for Seniors.
Many of us struggle when we want to bring up a sensitive issue with others (peers, colleagues, family, friends, neighbours etc.) Our awkward, uncomfortable feelings can lead us to react in the moment or put things off for fear of damaging the relationship. The reality is that the issue does not disappear, and, if not addressed, it can lead to misunderstandings and strained relationships.
The power point outlines a new approach that will help you handle challenging conversations with confidence and success. The PP outlines a 3-stage model for 'coaching' your own conversations constructively.
While the focus of this group was health care, the model can apply to different kinds of workplaces as well as in personal relationships.
Hope it's helpful.
