Lifetree Cafe: "Dealing With Difficult People: Secrets for Everyday Life From a Hostage Negotiator"

The program, titled “Dealing With Difficult People: Secrets for Everyday Life From a Hostage Negotiator,” features a filmed interview with police SWAT commander Rick Arnold, a trained hostage negotiator.

“I think there are things people can do in their lives to manage conflict in general,” says Arnold. “One of those is to tolerate people and their differences while understanding people are at different levels of character development in their lives.”

During the program, participants will have an opportunity to discuss difficult people in their own lives while brainstorming ways to better interact with them.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at 611 Clark Ave.
