Get the Elephant Out of the Room: Outsmart Difficult People at Work
Managers who micromanage, colleagues who self-promote, and customers who push boundaries. Difficult people aren’t just annoying—they’re career roadblocks. But what if you could turn them into stepping stones to success? In this practical and powerful podcast series, Christopher Webber reveals the lessons he has learned through a varied and illustrious career: success at work isn’t about what you say—it’s about how you say it.  He talks to a variety of people about their experiences of difficult people and shares insights you can use to overcome the challenging people who slow down decisions and create negativity.  The podcast accompanies the book, Get the Elephant Out of the Room available on Amazon, eBook and on the website www.gettheelephantout.com
