How to Work with Complicated People - Based on Ryan Leak's Book 

Every workplace has them... Complicated people. The ones who drain energy, test patience, and make collaboration tough. But here’s the truth: complicated people aren’t going away, and sometimes we’re the complicated ones.

In this session, we’ll reframe how we see these challenges, uncover surprising benefits of working with difficult personalities, and discover strategies that put the power back in your hands. You’ll walk away with practical steps you can use immediately, while also realizing this is just the beginning of the journey.

Key Takeaways:

• Why avoiding or “fixing” complicated people never works—and what to do instead
• How curiosity and reframing can transform difficult relationships
