In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy dives into a topic we all know too well—difficult people. We've all worked with someone who's frustrating, quirky, or just hard to get along with. And rather than facing the issue head-on, we tend to tuck these individuals away, hoping they'll just disappear. If you're someone who avoids difficult conversations, in this episode you'll learn the strategies to embrace the difficult people and become the leader you're capable of being. As a business owner, it's your responsibility to deal with the people who challenge you. Whether it's employees who push back, disagree, or simply don't fit the mold you envisioned, avoiding these difficult situations only hinders your business and personal growth. Kris emphasizes that by avoiding tough conversations, you're holding yourself back from fulfilling your vision and advancing your mission. “We are shrinking in the face of difficult when we should be standing and firmly growing who we are,” Kris reminds us. Facing difficulty head-on requires us to change the way we think and behave, and it's essential for growth. No one teaches you how to deal with difficult people, but when you step into being a leader, it is essential to learn and refine this skill. Kris teaches how to turn these situations into opportunities for both you and your team to grow. Kris guides us through the art of navigating these tough moments with honesty, courage, and a commitment to fostering growth. If you're ready to stop avoiding conflict and start growing, grab your pen and take notes—this episode will transform how you lead your business and your life. Key Takeaways From This Episode Embrace Difficulty as a Path to Growth: Avoiding challenges may feel easier in the short term, but overcoming them leads to the next level of success and fulfillment. Resistance Stalls Progress: Accepting reality allows you to move forward with clarity and purpose. Leadership Requires Facing Hard Conversations: Addressing challenges directly and honestly is key to maintaining a strong, functional team. Difficult People Are an Opportunity, Not a Roadblock: Mastering these interactions builds confidence, resilience, and stronger leadership skills. Avoiding Conversations Hurts Everyone: Honest feedback helps both individuals and organizations grow. Developing Conflict Resolution Skills is a Game-Changer: This skill is critical for maintaining peace of mind and achieving your long-term goals. Contact Information and Recommended Resources 1.

Who is the most complicated person you work with? You probably don’t have to think very hard to answer that question. You already know their name, their job title, their quirks, and their flaws. You have firsthand experience with the mental and emotional fallout they leave in their wake. You’ve seen the problems their complexity creates for everyone on their team. You wish you could fix them, solve them, ignore them, or teleport them to a parallel dimension. But you can’t. You have to work with them. (You could quit, but your next job will have a complicated person waiting for you there too.) That means you need effective strategies to collaborate with (nearly) anyone. Especially the picky, prickly, problematic ones. Drawing from his global consulting experience with teams and leaders from the glitz of sports and entertainment, to the number-crunching world of finance, to the meticulous realms of insurance, pharma, and manufacturing, today’s guest - a dynamic speaker and bestselling author, Ryan Leak, will provide you with proven strategies for seeing challenging individuals as human beings to understand rather than problems to solve, detoxing unrealistic expectations and getting comfortable with complicated, learning to communicate effectively in complex environments, embracing healthy disagreement as a tool to discover better solutions, and setting boundaries that let people into your world without letting them run your world. In the episode Ryan shares, “The process of learning to collaborate with difficult individuals is transformative—it’s a gateway to greater creativity, stronger teams, and increased productivity, because on the other side of complicated is the wonderful, wide-open world of effective collaboration and a workplace you love.” Ryan’s Website: https://www.ryanleak.com/ Pre-Order Ryan’s Book How to Work with Complicated People: https://www.amazon.com/How-Work-Complicated-People-Collaboration-ebook/dp/B0D7J86R16 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

"A life of denial can often be a form of self-delusion. . .What are we pretending not to know?" ~ Ken Frogley (https://www.billcrawfordphd.com/quote-video-blog/)
It's every traumatized kids' dream, that one day, your parents will finally see how much their abusive behavior hurt you, and they'll change, and say they're sorry – even if you had to cut them out of your life for a long time – and do everything that's needed to set things right. But really, what COULD set things right? And even if they really had changed, would you be able to handle picking up that relationship again without falling back down into a place you know TOO well, where you're depressed and dysregulated and your life gets stuck? In this video I respond to a letter from a woman who is weighing whether to let her abusive parents back into her life. Difficult People in Your Life?

When someone is wounded by trauma in childhood, it can SEEM to them that other people should be able to make them feel better. They may believe that if only you cared enough, or validated their feelings enough, their loneliness and hurt would go away. This is a lot of pressure, and a projection that you can't actually fix for them. It's hard to be compassionate with someone who is hurting, and yet say NO to their demands that you keep listening, keep giving, and keep taking responsibility for their healing. In this video, I respond to a letter from a woman who is fed up with a sibling's venting and emotional hounding. Hear my advice for how to set boundaries with a sibling with CPTSD.

"Sustained exhaustion is not a sign of determination, it is a signal that we have depleted our resources, and are no longer able to function at our best." ~ Bill Crawford, PhD (https://www.billcrawfordphd.com/quote-video-blog/)
When you were a child you needed the attention of parents – not just for food and shelter, but for your emotions. You need them to recognize and see when you were struggling, and help you navigate relationships, stand up for yourself, and set boundaries. That's what parenting IS. In this video, I respond to a letter from a woman who was raised by dismissive parents, who invalidated her needs and prioritized their own activities and preferences. Now she is with a dismissive partner, and worse, she has grown to be dismissive of HERSELF. Hear her letter and my response. Difficult People in Your Life?

"When our purpose becomes avoidance, our life becomes a void." ~ Bill Crawford, PhD (https://www.billcrawfordphd.com/quote-video-blog/)
I love Viktor Frankl's quote “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” I am reminded by this that my power, my strength, and my freedom is created in the space between the stimulus (circumstance) and my response (my actions). But sometimes that space can seem so, so, so small. We can tend to react impulsively, without thought, rather than responding thoughtfully. How do we increase the space, so we respond with intention, with valued alignment, rather than reacting with without thought? This podcast talks about how. Thanks for listening!

Marriage, Meddling, Mingling & Mending | Pastor Jeremy Isaacs | Dealing with Difficult People by Generations Church
2/5/25
Todayyy we talk about false memory OCD and how that can build up resentment, anger, and distrust. How to flip the mental script when you only focus on the bad or wrong things people do. We can sometimes miss the sweetness of being an imperfect human!! We also have a dear abbey listener question about dealing with OCD and difficult people.Call 909-817-1742 to leave a “Dear Abbey” voicemail or leave a text with a question or asking for advice!! Love you guys!!
