This class was very informative, and I learned a lot about what I should and shouldn't do with any type of "difficult" person.

For a short training, I felt that I learned a lot. Michael was very informative and engaging and provided great insight on how to handle difficult people. I can see using some of these tips and strategies the next time I have a conversation with a difficult person.
