The funny thing is that Sarah Elliston never realized she was "a difficult person," --someone who harangued people until she got her way, threw snip fits and temper tantrums, talked over her bosses and pointed out what she thought were their misconceptions. In her family, where she felt bullied, the only way she knew how to get someone's attention and approval was to voice her opinion--and loudly! Without standing her ground, how could she do what she thought was best for herself and everyone else around her. She wasn't intentionally mean-spirited. She was just trying to do what she thought was RIGHT!
Until a kind, but firm, boss woke her up! With great compassion, and strength, her boss pointed out that her actions had consequences. That in being "difficult," she was not only disrupting the office camaraderie and production, but impeding her own professional advancement.
That's the beginning of Sarah's transformation-- when she started on the journey to leave behind the difficult person, and become the woman who teaches others how to deal with difficult people. Sarah "Sam" Elliston is now bringing forth her vital manual on how to awaken the challenging personality, and change both the relationship and the environment with her new book Dealing with Difficult People; Lessons Learned from a Difficult Person.
Today, Elliston is a highly successful workshop leader and trainer, who offers wisdom learned the hard way--and through rigorous study and certification in many areas of professional training that aid her in her work -- Values Realization, Parent Effectiveness Training and Reality Therapy. She is a faculty member of the William Glasser Institute. Glasser is an internationally recognized psychiatrist and developer of Reality Therapy, a method of psychotherapy that teaches people they have a choice in how they choose to behave.

Lessons from a Difficult Person How to Deal with People Like Us Sarah H Elliston MAT 9781627474061 Books Reviews
it well beyond my expectations, and those were high to begin with. It was courageous, right up front, personal bravery to the utmost.
And then, dozens of really useful tools to help us out in the real world. Congratulations Ms Elliston. You've written a "Must Read."

Too much author's own specific personal story, not enough helpful skills to match the title. Repetitive. Better editing needed.
Good read. I especially liked Sarah's stories. She was so open about the relationships with her family. The book is more than an explanation of how she became a difficult person. It is a manual on change, complete with specific exercises and role playing examples. Her wonderful writing style makes the book easy to read and understand. Sarah’s book shares that people have choices in how they choose to behave when Dealing with Difficult People. .
This is an important book, filled with insights! What I especially liked was how this book helped me to analyze what is going on with difficult people in my life, AND offers ways to help me improve the relationship. It also gave me some insight into myself ( I didn't especially enjoy that part!!) which also makes this book valuable. I look forward to Sarah/Sam's next book!
This is an inspiring read for those who know a “difficult” person or even suspect they might fall into that category themselves. What I most enjoy are the stories Elliston tells about herself to show how she became a difficult person in her family, at school and later as a professional workshop leader. By revealing her own weaknesses, she demonstrates to the reader a way to begin a similar journey to overcome unproductive or disruptive behavior. She shows how to look with empathy at a difficult person’s flaws with the goal of helping rather than judging that person. Her writing flows smoothly from role-playing anecdotes to specific exercises for the reader to gain self knowledge and skills before speaking to a difficult person.
Sarah touches on a subject that many of us have probably dealt with in a way that has not brought about satisfying results. Whether it’s a friend, family member or co-worker, we have all brushed up against someone who is in a constant state of turmoil and we become the recipient of his or her wrath. How do you deal with that? Can you help this person, or do you have to forever endure her negative, rude behavior? Your first instinct might be to run, but Sarah shows you how to stand your ground with compassion and assertiveness.
As soon as I read Sarah Elliston's book, I knew I had to include her wisdom in my next workshop! Sarah's brave and honest appraisal of her own behavior - along with the things that helped and didn't help her modify that behavior - connected with the professionals I taught in ways that many other classic Difficult People author's suggestions did not. Her book enriched the conversation and helped my attendees make a plan to benefit from the gifts and alleviate the pain with difficult people in their own lives.
If anyone in your life is prone to difficult behavior or attitudes, consider reading this book. Inside you'll find wisdom and practical exercises to help establish effective communication. Sarah herself was over 50 years old when she discovered she was a "difficult person," thanks to the caring boss who "woke her up." Can't imagine a workplace or family who wouldn't benefit from reading and practicing the suggestions offered in these pages.
