Coaching Challenging Personalities
Tuesday, June 16, 2026 (3:00 PM - 4:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
Difficult dynamics can be growth opportunities!
This session will explore why certain volunteer, patient, and team member personalities feel challenging and how perspective, communication style, and stress shape behavior. We’ll focus on real-world scenarios that Volunteer Managers face and provide practical strategies for coaching volunteers through conflict, miscommunication, and boundary issues. Learn how to respond instead of react, reframe difficult moments as teachable ones, and guide volunteers to thrive in their roles while upholding organizational values and a culture of respect.
