Offensive People at Work


From Mark Salinas business blog, Insights on the World of Business Management:


How do you deal with an individual at work that lacks Emotional Intelligence? A person that says random, possibly offense remarks, with no concern for the individuals around him/her. This person is upset about something, somebody or maybe has a strong opinion about a political candidate etc. Often we want to go right back with our opinions…. but why become part of that mess?


He recommends emotional intelligence. "Why become part of that mess" is such a great way to put it.

If you're looking for some tips on how to deal with DIFFICULT PEOPLE, take my online course. It's self-guided and full or PRACTICAL EQ tips.

Stop taking the bait at family get-togethers



STOP TAKING THE BAIT

There's no questions things escalate at the holidays. It's supposed to be a "happy" time, and all the old family ghosts start crawling out of the walls.

For instance, did you ever walk in to the family get-together and get hit by one of these. I hope not, but few of these escape from this sort of in-family junk. It's easier to stop than you realize. That's why I designed this course, and it really works.

  • You wouldn't be single if you knew how to get along?
  • At this house, we show up on time.
  • She always arrives late so she can get lots of attention.
  • Why do you always have to bring that up?
  • When are you going to grow up?
  • When are you going to learn some manners?
  • Why don't you do like your big brother and ...
  • Why do you always have to be so sensitive?
  • YOU don't need any pie. You're too fat already.
  • You eat like you were raised in a stable.
  • Your sister doesn't act that way, why do you?
  • Do you have to ruin every family get-together, why don't you just get along?

YOU LOVE THEM, NOW LEARN HOW TO GET ALONG WITH THEM.

QUIT TAKING THE BAIT. (And don't dangle it out there, either.)

The Difficult People course was designed to get you through the holidays, and benefit you for the rest of your life.

Stop being the victim, the nice guy, the sweet one, the scapegoat, the brunt of all the jokes.

IS YOUR BIG BROTHER STILL ASKING YOU TO PULL IS THUMB???

This course is on the Internet with full email support. Click HERE to order. You will be contacted immediately by email.

Don't wait. Order it now. You will never regret it.

CLIENT COMMENT: "First decent get-together we ever had. I finally, finally get it. Thank you Susan. That course is a miracle." Dianne R., Portland, Oregon

Intermittent Emotional Disorder

Maturity: the elusive detail of personal responsibility by Marsha Petri Sue

From the article:

Maturity is underrated, misunderstood and in a downward spiral. Where will it all end. There is now a new name being given to a disorder that describes people who, in my opinion, don’t use their maturity. It’s called IED or Intermittent Emotional Disorder.

Is this the reason that toxic people and difficult people are on the rise?
Interesting how lack of maturity and personal responsibility continue to have backers. People and groups who come up with excuses as to why bad behavior and
poor choices are not their fault. Now they have another excuse—IED. Intermittent Emotional Disorder is the tag line being used. In the field of psychology, IED really refers to intermittent EXPLOSIVE disorder and is applied to persons who cannot manage their anger, relationships, and/or themselves.
Ms. Sue then gives her answers, including:

Shift to the left-brain where the proper words and actions live. Your right brain kicks in when you are upset and angry. The mental terrorism will spur you on to impulsive deeds and immature actions. Train yourself to count to ten or say, “this is a test, this is only a test. This will not be important in 100 years.” This will help you to stop “awfulizing.”

THE EQ COURSE(c) teaches you about this "shift" process.

She adds, "It takes approximately two hours to recover from anger. In addition, you give your power to others. Is that really what you want?" to which I add, 5 minutes of anger suppresses your immune system for up to 8 hours ... and your immune system IS YOUR HEALTH. (For immune system supplement go HERE.

Ms. Sue quotes Rosalie Hydock, Ph.D., a specialist in human behavior and performance improvement:

“The widespread inability to deal with emotions in an acceptable way is an interesting theme and a logical outcome in a society where several generational
cohorts have been raised to live in the moment with self-gratification rather than long-term consequences as a primary objective. Rather than legitimize this trend with a diagnosis, it might be better to work on developing better emotional control skills.”
Ms. Sue is the author of Toxic People: dealing with difficult people in the workplace without using weapons or duct tape. To order Sue's book, go HERE.

Preparing for the Holidays

Add to My Yahoo!

Lets face it, there is extra stress during the holidays. While the pumpkins are starting to appear on doorsteps, and fall wreaths on doors, you may be getting a feeling in the pit of your stomach.

One of the stressors for some people is the family gatherings. After all, we don't get to choose our families! There may be an uncle that always jerks your chain, or a sister you have trouble getting along with, or maybe your mother is just determined to get everyone to get together and is saying "can't you just get along."

Whatever it is, it's smart to prepare yourself. The EQ Course can help, and also I have a special course called Dealing with Difficult People. To find out more about this course, email me at sdunn@susandunn.cc . It is on the Internet, but it is interactive. You can ask me specific questions by email and dialogue with me about your individual situation.

Here are some of the things people have said you took the course.

"This course got me through it all. Thank you, thank you." -- P.T., Louisiana

"Finally I get it. It wasnt easy for me to see what was going in and like you say ithas been like that for a long time. When I do what it says to do then I'm OK." -- S.D., California

"Thanks for opening my eyes. Now I know how to avoid those touchy areas, and how to keep things from escalating. Very helpful, specific advice and things to say. I will recommend this course to others."

When It Is a Fact, Not a Problem


Add to My Yahoo!

Emotional Intelligence is about reading reality correctly, amidst the emotional reactions pressing on your cognitive intellect.

I love this quote:

"If a problem has no solution, it may not be a problem, but a fact - not to be solved, but to be coped with over time." - Shimon Peres, Polish-born Israeli Politician

I like it so much because, with even normal intellect, solving a problem is easy. Dealing with a fact you don't like, however, is not, and requires a great deal of emotional intelligence.

Here are sme FACTS I've helped clients learn to cope with over time:
--An adult daughter who is damaged, vindictive and hysterical.
--A boyfriend who is, and always will be, a "stringer".
--A boss who has very low emotional intelligence and is a "difficult person."
--A colleague who is left-brained (or right-brained) and incapable of whole-brain thinking.
--Someone who thinks the client him/herself is a problem to be fixed.
--A controlling husband.
--An abrasive sister who likes to triangulate with the mother against the client.

With a FACT there are three (3) ways to cope:

+Change the situation;
+Change your attitude; or
+Leave

The first two (2) pertain to IQ. The last one pertains to EQ.
