Effectively Deal with Passive-Aggressive Behavior | Video 2

Are you ready to discover how to ask strong coaching questions to those difficult people who exhibit passive-aggressive behavior?

If so, this video is for you.

I’ll share a few coaching questions that you can begin using with the person with this difficult condition.
Plus, you’ll learn action steps to take.

You’ll find the link to video 1 in the series “Effectively Deal with Passive-Aggressive Behavior” below this post.

Let’s get real: This conversation won’t be easy. I suggest that you start out easy. This may be a good time for you to bring up coaching to this person If the communication backfires.

Here are a few questions to get you started with those who exhibit passive-aggressive behavior:

  • Do you put off doing things as a way to punish others?
  • What is the truth that needs expressing?
  • What effects does this have on your life/work/relationships?

I use these questions when coaching clients who exhibit passive-aggressive behavior and seek my guidance.
I repeat you can start off using 1 question just to test the water.

Passive-Aggressive Behavior is Usually Tough to Handle on Our Own

  • It isn’t easy to change passive-aggressive behavior
  • Standing up for yourself is difficult
  • Passive-aggressive behavior is an easier way for them to deal with emotions without having to confront the source of their anger.

I hope these strategies will help you to effectively deal with passive-aggressive behavior.

I’m here if you want a private session or to help you create a successful plan and practice the skills you learned in this video.
Call me at 248.681.5831 or send me an email and we can set up a couple of sessions that will reduce your inner peace.

2 Ways to Effectively Deal with Passive-Aggressive Behavior | Video 1

Do you work or live with a person who exhibits passive-aggressive behavior?
Are you ready to find out how to communicate with this person in a productive way?

If so this video below is just for you.

Several coaching clients have discussed their challenges dealing with passive/aggressive behavior with either family or colleagues.
I need to be clear that there is passive-aggressive behavior, not people.
This makes it less personable and more manageable.

Definition of Passive-Aggressive Behavior 

Passive-aggressive behavior is expressing negative feelings indirectly instead of openly talking about them.
Additionally, they may feel angry, resentful, or frustrated. But they act neutral, pleasant, or even cheerful. Plus they find indirect ways to show how they really feel.

Do these 3 examples sound familiar to you?

1. A girlfriend was mad at her boyfriend, Bruce. She didn’t tell him that she was upset.
Her passive-aggressive behavior was blasting the volume of the music which was unbearable for Bruce to hear.
Bruce is my client and we discussed this challenging behavior. He now realizes that he needs to speak directly to his girlfriend when she shows these tendencies.

2. An aunt said the following to her niece, Kate: “Kate, I like your new haircut because it makes your face slimmer.”
During our coaching session, Kate practiced how to answer her aunt in future conversations. Kate now understands this behavior. She communicates with her aunt directly and lets her know that comments about her weight are hurtful.

3. Lisa, An HR professional discussed her frustration with a direct report, Jim who was always late to meetings. We explored Jim’s passive-aggressive behavior.
Additionally, Lisa told Jim that he is not invited to future meetings because his behavior is demoralizing to the team. Jim was given one more chance and he caught on very quickly.
