Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
How to deal with difficult people 

Handling difficult people and situations effectively requires a blend of emotional intelligence, communication skills and self-awareness-skills that need continuous effort to develop and improve. Whether it's a challenging colleague at work, a demanding family member, or a frustrating acquaintance, these interactions can test our patience and resilience. Adopting the right strategies can greatly help us navigate these interactions more smoothly, maintain our composure and develop healthier relationships.
