Red Shoe Strategies for Dealing with Difficult People
Rumor has it, that even in the Renal World, difficult people roam the earth.

Say it ain’t so! Yet, where would we be without difficult people?

“Difficult people are irritants. They can help us make pearls.” My mother, Beba G. Gurri, said when we came across difficult people.
