You know the destructive effect that difficult participants can have on their own learning, as well as on the group's learning process. This practical—and funny!—guide teaches you how to identify a difficult participant, and then how to decide which technique (127 in all) is best suited for dealing with that individual.
Some people know how to take a hint. Others don't. So for each difficult participant, the authors provide a list of strategies. The strategy list starts indirect and preventitive, then becomes progressively more direct and corrective. Sometimes, when you request that participants turn off their beepers and cellular phones before attending the workshop, they will oblige...and disruptions cease. But other times, with truly difficult participants, you might need to actually "confiscate" beepers and cell phones before a session. The authors offer a whole array of strategies for each difficult participant: some (not-so-difficult) participants will require little prompting; others will require a lot.
Learn to deal with types such as:

• The Preoccupied
  
• The Socializer
  
• The Introvert
  
• The Bored
  
• The Domineering
  
• The Unqualified
