A duck's back: Confidence skills with difficult people
Confidence skills are always needed when there are difficult people around, and there's no one who doesn't have to deal with angry, negative or irritating individuals, is there?
Water off a duck's back is your golden opportunity to show your audience how to keep their cool even with the most difficult people. Not even pompous, peeved and petty people will upset them any more. Watch with wonder as the stress leaves and calming self-confidence takes over.
This hilarious and profoundly practical speech is perfect for your conference, as everyone needs it, even leaders, and they'll love you for it. Will they get bored? No way. Will it be relevant? Absolutely. This is a highly interactive and entertaining speech with expert content. Rachel will get everyone joining in, laughing and interacting. And learning essential skills to make working and living with people even easier.

Here are just some of the skills covered.

How to:
  • Stay composed and positive even when people are being difficult.
  • Shrug off other people's outbursts, rudeness or snide comments.
  • React calmly and remain level-headed when people are angry, upset or complaining.
  • Use quick practical ways to cope with put-downs easily.
  • Stop taking things personally, or becoming defensive.
  • Think clearly when people are trying to manipulate, insult or undermine you.
  • Stay stress free and let negativity wash over you like water off a duck's back.
By learning how to remain calm, cool and confident your delegates will gain advanced skills for successful leadership, team-work and superb customer service. What a great speech to have. It also helps enormously in lowering stress levels, reducing complaints, arguments and resentments, and in increasing staff retention. Don't let your delegates go home without learning how to let negativity wash over them like water off a duck's back. Give them the confidence skills they need to handle anyone. They'll be so grateful. All you'll have to do is find the time to read the thank you letters afterwards.
