Are there podcasts on how to treat problematic people in the workplace?
I have a question about the episode Gary Heil || Choose Love, Not Fear in the Workplace and the clip Workplace Frustrations. I'm also frustrated about how I acted—responsive and thankful but also annoyed—when dealing with this one manager at work. Kaitlyn suggested I do something differently, but overall, I have a weird relationship with this manager. I'm going to change how I've been acting. I'm just an intern, but it's not obvious; everyone else loves me, and I love them. It's just this one person, and I need to change my attitude. She rarely gives me the space to explain and often asserts herself in the middle of presentations without letting me continue. It's very different from everyone else there. Will changing my attitude help her loosen her resistance too?
