Business Expo Teleseminars

Getting Beyond Resistance

– Out There and In Here
Pegotty Cooper, MBA
CEO, Career Strategy
Roadmap Isn’t it frustrating when you want someone to help you out with something and they say,” yes” and don’t do it OR they get squirrely and come up with all kinds of excuses for why they can’t do what you want them to do. Or other people just won’t listen to you, take your advice, or agree with your point of view. Resistance is everywhere: employees, neighbors, government clerks, customers, children and even YOU! And it takes its toll on your energy and enthusiasm. In this 50 minute teleseminar, you will learn how to recognize resistance as an opportunity and develop several different ways that you can
respond that will: Teach you be more confident in dealing
with resistanc
e; Help you experience success in getting cooperation from others; and Restore your energy and enthusiasm in dealing with challenging situations. Following the session you will have the opportunity to experience a totally complimentary assessment which will show you your strengths
in dealing with other people and possibly some of the thinking that undermines your capacity
in this area.
