Your best strategies for dealing with challenging co-workers
One of the top issues I hear about from my clients is the ‘difficult’ co-worker. This is the person in your work life whose behavior so affects your day, it can eclipse everything else that is going on.

How often do you end your work day thinking, “Wow, I just worked a whole lot, but didn’t get much done.”
You walk into work and face what feels like a tsunami of emails not to mention a totally packed calendar. Everyone requests your time.

You are invited to join meetings.
As your work piles up, you become more and more anxious. You try to multi-task but that just leaves you feeling even more overwhelmed. Your brain isn’t focused at all. Before long, your day is over. And nothing on your to-do list is scratched off.
This is a day on auto-pilot.
