Dr. Rick Brinkman literally co-wrote the book on it: "Dealing with People You Can't Stand, How to Bring Out the Best in People at Their Worst." In his trademark entertaining, humorous style, he will show us how to use Conscious Communication® to successfully transform behaviors like: Whining, Negativity, Attacks, Tantrums, Know-it-alls, Think-they-know-it-alls, Sniping, and more. Dr. Brinkman says, "Communication is like a phone number, you need all the digits to get through and you need them in the right order. There is a strategy for each of the difficult behaviors that can transform them. It is just a matter of being a Conscious Communicator® and taking responsibility for the power you have to influence others."

Dr. Rick has performed over 4000 programs in 18 countries. He is the coauthor of six McGraw-Hill books, including his latest, “Dealing with Meetings You Can’t Stand, Meet Less and Do More.” He is frequently used by media as a communication expert and has been featured on CNN, the NY Times, O (Oprah Magazine) and the Wall St. Journal.
